Hi all…

The two pics here are Trina with a few of our grandchildren 🙂 and of course us sharing how beautiful she is when she sleeps!

As for April…

Well – every month is staying busy and full of things to do. We have been taking Trina to see her Grandpa Koury (who is very fragile still after losing my mom just 7 months ago). And, we combined the trip for seeing Grandpa with a trip to San Jose for a Brain injury Walk-a-thon, then on to Santa Cruz for her to see her oldest sister. The trip was awesome, but tiring! We love taking her to see friends and family and see places (but we do it on faith as we have no idea what she sees…we are just praying the stimulus and love keeps her spirit coming forth to where one day we get her cognition back!)…

We also were working hard on starting a foundation, but Steve and Trina have had some difficult health stuff on and off which is making us move slowly. We actually were going to stop it, but the papers just came back from the State. So, one day at a time and see what happens. We wanted to help others with brain injury AND at the same time help Trina via a foundation because it would connect us to a bigger picture out there in the world of brain injury. We have to shout out a thanks to the Brain Injury Association of California, too, as we connected with them over the last few months and met many wonderful, insightful people.

Katrina is a joy, a beautiful joy … and in the ups and downs of it all – she does well most days. We pray mostly for any kind of sign of cognition. That she could speak even a yes or no or nod her head to give us a signal of acknowledgement or be able to eat on her own or … but we are coming up on 3 years (wow) and YES, we have more smiles and she can still stand and walk with assistance but she is very fragile and wobbly and that can be dangerous without 24/7 supervision (just like having a permanent 10 month old). Please continue to pray that God will allow us to experience any of the changes that have her giving us communication. We never know if she is in pain and that is scary.

Thanks again for those of you who check in. We know Trina appreciates you all and would send her love and thanks out if possible.

God Bless from Trina’s family …
