I have never felt this invested in a complete stranger before. Tricia is going into surgery to get her new lungs. I wrote about Nate and Tricia a couple of months ago here. Tricia has CF and was about to be put on the transplant list last fall. Then she found out that the baby she and Nate had been trying for was growing in her womb. They made the decision to continue the pregnancy. Tricia made it through a very difficult pregnancy with Gwyneth. One that was treacherous for both her health and the health of her darling daughter. Tricia made it to 25 weeks gestation with Gwyneth and bought her the chance at life. Now Tricia waits for her new lungs.
Their beautiful daughter Gwyneth touched me as all premature babies do. But this story Nate and Tricia are playing out before a faceless audience of well-wishers has me more captivated than I have ever been in people I have not met, do not know, probably never will meet.
Please take a moment to go to Nathan’s blog and leave a message of support.
If you haven’t been there yet, read their story. It will amaze you.
I can’t wait to hear the news that Tricia is breathing with a new set of lungs. I am on pins and needles.
It is just amazing how a total stangers family can have such an impact on so many.I have been following them for a few months now and I know I will be checking often tonight to see how the surgery is going and is breathing with her new lungs.
Thank you!
