The Trivette Twins We are here to give updates on our twins that were born 10 weeks early.

01/18/2025

The girls had their 18 month development appt yesterday. Everything went well. Social development skills are exactly where they need to be. Physically, we're working with Faith to still walk and Hope to start talking. No concerns with either as Faith can walk with a walker and Hope listens to commands. Overall great report, will go back in 6 months.

Update on Faith

There are no changes in the fluid on Faith’s brain, and the ventricles all look good. There were no changes observed in the 3rd and 4th ventricles on her left side. However, the doctor mentioned she will likely always have issues with her right side. At 13 months adjusted, we have about five months before they can begin considering cerebral palsy, but for now, it's still too early to tell what her brain will do long-term. A shunt is also still a possibility.

On a positive note, Faith is doing really well! Her brain development seems to be on track—she's starting to talk, wave goodbye, and express when she wants something. She's also crawling, standing on her own, and cruising along the couch. We’re focusing on helping her walk more and keeping her muscles from tightening. Overall, it's good news, and we'll go back for a follow-up in four months.

Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support. We truly appreciate them all!

Well, our little girl has her MRI tomorrow, so we're heading out bright and early to Knoxville. As far as we know, she'll be going under anesthesia around 9am. Caitlyn Trivette and I would deeply appreciate your prayers for Faith.

She's making amazing progress, using her right hand more each day. This week, the physical therapist gave her braces for her feet to start wearing. She's starting to cruise along the couches and furniture, sitting up on her own, and trying so hard to stand, though she's still a bit too weak.

Every day when I get home from work, Hope runs to me with her hands out, and Faith is right behind her, crawling. I can't wait for the day when both of them are walking to meet me at the door.

We know God's got this, and no matter what, we're so proud of how far she's come. Thanks to everyone for the love and support. It means the world to us!

Just want everyone to know that Faith's appointment has been canceled tomorrow. You would think possibly weather, nope, insurance gets us again.

This has been scheduled for over a month and you couldn't get an authorization in that amount time? Come on insurance companies, DO BETTER!! You expect our premiums to be paid every pay cycle. We expect you to hold up your end of the deal too.

Happy Friday Everyone!!

Haven't made a post in awhile so wanted to send an update. Both girls are doing great at eating more solid foods. If you seen our last video Faith enjoys it a lot more and at this time eats better than Hope.

Hope weighs 13.2lbs and is 27 inches long. She has definitely found her voice. Hope can roll over but has a hard time rolling back. Sleeping habits with her have changed as she gets up at 4am now. We did have to put her on a new formula since she tested positive for a milk intolerance. Very mobile at this time as she is able to scoot on her back across the floor.

Faith weighs 13lbs and is 26.5 inches long. She is less vocal but likes to talk to herself and her toys. Can roll over all the way and back. Starting to scoot some but still lots of mobility in her legs. Faith is starting to use that right arm more which is great. We are still waiting to get her back in therapy since we have moved. Does not like crowds of large people and very much a home body. Still sleeping all the way through the night from about 9 to 7. Her next neuro appointment is in April. With each trip that she does not need a shunt the percentage of her needing surgery goes down tremendously.

With the holidays and moving we're slowly but surely getting settled in our home. They will have another set of twins that are a year old to play with that are moving directly in front of us. Our neighbors are great this time. We have gotten our wood fence installed and the dogs love it as well. At this time we are planning on just keeping Charlie and possibly getting him some training lessons.

We will start videos in the next week or two and get back on a schedule to update you all.

Thank you all for the many prayers and we appreciate all you have done for us.

Watching the girls today since I'm off and Caitlyn is working. Look at this big girl feeding herself!!

It's officially Christmas!! Praying for those families that are missing people around the tree. Those that are still hurting from the loss of a loved one. Caitlyn and I have been so blessed this year. However, it has not been sunshine and rainbows. The pregnancy itself was very hard, we moved and are now trying to get back. Twins came 12 weeks early in Johnson City, then transferred to Vanderbilt. We used all her maternity leave to stay at Vanderbilt. When the twins did come home, it was right back to work for both of us.

Appointments with eye specialist, gastro, neurologist and physical therapy. At least one of those if not two and sometimes all of them in the same week. Faith's brain bleeds were catastrophic news to us when we found out. We left the hospital and I made it to Food City in Jonesborough, pulled over and let it all out until there were no more tears left.

No matter how many tears we shed nothing would or could change what was going on in her brain. That is until this day, the day we celebrate that a savior was born. To say my spiritual life took huge steps is an understatement. I took steps that I never knew were imaginable. The faith that you must have in God to fully surrender and let him handle while we continue to fight for her.

Ironically, I truly believe that her name is Faith to test my faith in the Father above. To this day she still has no shunt, she acts normal just like any other baby. Worried about her not being able to eat food and she loves sweet potatoes and bananas. She plays, laughs, smiles, cues when she's hungry or needs changed.

My favorite part of the night is rocking her to sleep. She loves flashing lights of all colors and will stare at them forever until her eyes get heavy and she nods off. Her and Hope both have already created bond that I believe most twins naturally have. They hold hands, try to eat each other's face and play with their toys.

I didn't understand why me to be the father of twin girls. It wasn't until a coworker of mine sent me a sermon on our faith. With all this going on, like most of us, our faith seems to diminish. We feel like God is so far away from us. Then I heard it, words that I will never forget and words that made me understand, why me.

Sometimes God feels far away in situations because he trust us. One more time, sometimes God feels far away because he trust us. That spoke to me as I laid up in that Vanderbilt hospital in ways I can't even describe. I knew right then why Caitlyn and I were chosen to be the parents of these little girls. He's trusting us with his precious children. To raise them in a Godly home, tell them about a savior that was born this day, and the story that goes with it.

If you're feeling God is far away, could it be that he is trusting you something. No matter how small or big it may be, he's trusting you to take care of it while he guides our steps.

Merry Christmas to everyone and have an amazing day!!

Friday with Faith while Hope sleeps. Continued prayers for both babies. A couple of busy weeks ahead. If you listen to the very end starting 4:32, Faith has been full of air and had to release. She said she is very sorry but couldn't hold it any longer. #trivettestwins #StrengthInNumbers #babiesonajourney
