And More Answered Prayers!

(This is Rick again. Nathan's on break.)

Tricia's sister Megan has been with her all day and reports that Tricia has had a wonderful day! In fact, she's asked Megan to paint her toenails and they're playing a game of scrabble. Sister stuff along with prayers has made a big difference.

The next step for her is to move her down to a regular room and out of ICU. We hope that happens very soon, and with today's upbeat improvements, it probably will.

Along with the fantastic news about Gwyneth's blow out, this is turning out to be a day of celebration.

Go God!

  18. Wonderful news... thanks for sharing.

    You know, even if you guys were total jerks I think we'd be rejoicing in the miracles God is working. However, the fact your family is clearly so wonderful just makes the miracles that much more sweet.

  22. I agree that some girly/sister time is always good for a difficult situation. After I had my daughter I was an emotional rollar coaster so I can't even imagine the coaster Tricia must be on. Prayers continue for all!!

  23. So glad to hear the good news! God is so good!!! I woke up several times in the middle of the night last night for no reason, every time, I said a prayer for Tricia and Gwyneth! I actually find myself praying for both through out the day as well as for my own family! God works thru every willing heart at all hours of the day and night! Praise HIM for this great report today! Hang in there Nate and enjoy your 'alone' time with your girls! Thanks Nate's dad for doing such a great job in keeping us 'addicts' updated! :)
    God bless you all!

  26. From one of my dad's favorite songs.....

    "I am blessed, I am blessed, Everyday that I live I am blessed,
    From the moment that I wake up,
    'Til I lay my head to rest,
    I am blessed, I am blessed."

    Still praying.....

  27. This is a great report. Tricia just needed a little "girl time" with Sis to lift her spirits. New toe nails always feel good. Praying for both girls to continue to amaze everyone and for Tricia go get a normal room soon. I hope Nate is getting some much needed rest and peace while on break. He has done such an amazing job since this all began. God is so amazing!!

    Love, Laurie in Ca.

  60. I've been following your blog for a little while and praying for you and your family. Today, as I read this post, I couldn't believe your closing. "GO GOD" My husband is a national speaker and uses this phrase all the time. It's on so much of our material and yet we have never heard anyone say it that didn't know him. I thought is was so cool that this is how you closed this post. We join you in glorifying God for all He is doing on your behalf and that of your bride and precious daughter. GO GOD!!!

  61. Our God is an awesome God! Just found your blog and will add your girls and family to my prayers.

    And Go God!
