Meet our Ryan House Shining Star, Trinity
Shortly after learning she was pregnant with triplets, Heather was told her three children, Sebastian, Trinity and Estellah, had only two placentas. At 28 weeks, Estellah passed away in utero and Trinity began having strokes and her kidneys stopped developing. While Sebastian was born healthy at 35 weeks, Trinity was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and terminal renal failure with a life expectancy of 15 months.
“The day I stepped into Ryan House is the day I became a woman again,” Heather said. “When you have a child with special needs you not only become a nurse and caregiver but also an advocate, making all the hard decisions. Now a single mom, I don’t have someone to talk to or share things with. Ryan House has given me the security and confidence to go forward. We are progressing every day, hopefully there will be no more cloudy days but if there are, well, it’s ok.”
When Trinity is at Ryan House she loves spending time in the sensory room with volunteers. You can also find her strolling the halls and the fully accessible playground.
