The combination of Trey's early arrival, the two lung infections they believe he had, and his time spent on the oscillator and ventillator have made his time in the NICU particurarly challenging. I found some information online today that will hopefully help all of our blog followers better understand what's going on with Trey.

Trey held his own last night and today so no changes are being made. Randy and I have expressed our concern of advancing to another steroid treatment, which has its own set of potential complications down the road. We have been assured that this will be a last resort treatment used only if absolutely necessary.
Stella spent more time with Grandma Todd today while I visited with Trey in the hospital. I had some nice cuddle time with him which he tolerated well. Tomorrow Stella has an eye exam so she'll get to visit Trey for a little while. (Trey's eye exam was scheduled for today which I requested they postpone - the doctors agreed that he didn't need to go through that stress right now so he'll have his next week instead.)
Thank you everyone for your warm comments and for your prayers for our family. We draw our strength not only from each other, but from all of you too!

ReplyDeleteTo all who are following the blog,
ReplyDeletePlease make an extra effort in your offerings of prayer and inspiration for Beth, Randy, Trey and Stella. We wish Stella continues her improvements but we must widen and deepen our prayers for Trey to make a turn around, become self supportive and come fully into his own body. I ask each viewer to make any offering they can to support the family, offer them strength, and more importantly link together spiritually to help pull Trey along his path to full recovery. He has been here with us just a short time but already has had a big impact on many of us, near and far, friend and family, young and old. We should imagine the two of them (twins) going to their first day of school, their first crush, and all the other firsts we have all seen come and go in our own lives. Remember a family is not counted in numbers but instead in its members, actions and love for each other.
I will continue to pray for your family and that little trey will recover quickly and join stella and momma and dad home. Randy and beth you are strong people. The worthley family is praying for your family everyday
