She finally made it

Wow what a year! My baby has finally turned 1. What a rocky road we have had to get this far. I never even imagined 1 year ago that we would've even made it to her 1st birthday. It's been such a journey for everybody involved in her life, but especially my family. My kids have been through so much with their little sister and they understand so much more than what we think. Right from the start they have been there, they have cried at times because it used to upset them. When I showed Nimeesha (my 5 year old) the little video I had made she started crying. She said it was just so sad. Their sister means the world to them and if anything happened they would be so devastated.
Her birthday was a good one. We didn't have everybody there we would have liked to. A lot of the family had flus and chicken pox so it was just the people that weren't unwell. She managed to stay awake through most of her birthday and conked out towards the end. I think she was wondering why there was so many people looking at her but they weren't dressed in blue scrubs or had doctors coats and stethoscopes.
Antz was great and he thanked everybody for all the help and support they've given us and he thanked our kids (and made them cry!). The kids have probably been through the most this year. Getting shoved around from person to person, getting dragged up to Auckland, not seeing me or their sister for sometimes weeks.
I want to thank all of the people that have helped us out this year and haven't judged us as parents, because we couldn't have been able to do what we needed to, to be with Trinity-Storm without the help of others.
She is still a very fragile baby and will probably be like this for the next few years, so please bear with us if we ever turn you away or turn down family events. It was so hard going to starship and watching her fight for her life, she fights for her life everyday, but that was especially hard when we were so close to the heavens gates. All of the praying and thoughts that everybody sent her definitely worked, and the fact that she is a fighter and will never ever give up.
I LOVE YOU MY DAUGHTER AND SO DOES DADDY, WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU AS LONG AS YOU NEVER GIVE UP XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
