New Challenges, More Prayers Needed …
Trina is stable. However, as most of you know, my husband Steve is a huge blessing to Trina. He loves her and is her primary caregiver with me, mom. He truly is her daddy on earth (biological daddy is in heaven). We just found out yesterday that Steve has Ocular Lymphoma (cancer of the eye). …

Today’s the Day to Heal …
Many of you may not understand what I am about to share. In “Trina’s Story” I did not give all of the “details” as I did not feel it was appropriate. Yet everyone knows she is still married and we did not know where her husband was…until a couple of weeks ago. He and I…

AMAZED EVERY DAY …
We’ve been taking care of Trina at home now for nearly 4 months. With severe brain damage – it is great to believe in a miracle, such as a complete healing … but the day-to-day realities allow us to be excited about the small things of change. Up until a couple of days ago, Trina…

DAY AFER DAY
We recently took Trina to an eye doctor to verify the condition of her vision … and surprisingly he had information for us. He said her brain really is like that of a baby. And, that we should “cuddle” her and “rock” her and talk with her at that level as we work to advance…

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
Trina continues to amaze us with getting better at walking. But, we really solicit your prayers with the unpredictability of the brain and the ups and downs and plateaus that we do not understand. When she was in the hospital she did eat some and yet did not sleep. Now she sleeps but does not…

CONTINUAL BLESSINGS COMING ….
HOME has made a huge difference for Katrina. She is so peaceful and joyful. Now, in recent weeks – she began taking a literal jog through the hallway and comes up to us and grabs a hold of us. A lot of deep stares, too, which really makes you wonder what she is thinking. It…

The Move and Settling In At Home …
It’s been about 3 weeks now since we brought Trina home. So glad to have her home and yet the transition did test us. Many things changed for Trina that had been customary for us all in a hospital for a year … and so it seemed as though her little system just couldn’t handle…

NEED YOUR PRAYERS FOR TRINA, FOR US…
It has been a TRYING couple of months planning to bring Trina home. 1) Trina looks great and yet continues to pull back from progress. She barely wants to eat by mouth, so we have had to increase her tube feeding to almost 100% of her calories as she was losing weight and is already…

A LOT TO LEARN
It has been an unbelievable learning curve planning to bring Trina home. I really hate to make this observation, but it seems like the employees of the various government programs needed to make it happen are disconnected, especially when you add to the mix moving from one county to another. I have been running in…

HUGE STEPS AHEAD …
First … Great News! Trina is once again moving forward. She is eating well (yet still has feeding tube) and Steve has been able to get her to walk again with his lead (just moving slower this time, less stimulation to be safe). Every day we continue to have hope, but it still is hard…
