She is stable, and I'm waiting to go down to NICU to see her. The delivery doc brought us a picture...she has hair (go figure with the two of us). That's all I know.
Tricia is sleeping in ICU. The next 24 hours will be critical for Tricia. She's doing well on the vent, but until she's awake, we won't know fully what the future looks like. I spent 5 minutes with her before they kicked me out to do some things.
I'll give more details later, but 75 people in the OR tells you something of the miracle that today has been so far. Lots of tears, both of fear and of joy.
Your prayers over the next few days will be the most treasured.
Nate

Congrats on your new little one :) I am the Mom of a preemie baby girl that was 1 lb 15 oz, who is absolutley beautiful today, and this was my favorite poem when she was born 18 months ago :)
ReplyDelete~*~How Preemie Moms Are Chosen~*~
(Erma Bombeck)
Did you ever wonder how the mothers of premature babies are chosen?
Somehow, I visualize God hovering over Earth, selecting his
instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he
observes, he instructs his angels to take notes in a giant ledger.
"Armstrong, Beth, son. Patron Saint, Matthew.
Forrest, Marjorie, daughter. Patron Saint, Celia.
Rutledge, Carrie, twins. Patron Saint...give her Gerard. He's used to
profanity."
Finally, he passes a name to an angel and smiles.
"Give her a preemie." The angel is curious. "Why this one, God?
She's so happy."
"Exactly," smiles God.
"Could I give a premature baby a mother who knows no laughter? That
would be cruel."
"But does she have the patience?" asks the angel.
"I don't want her to have too much patience, or she'll drown in a sea
of self-pity and despair.
Once the shock and resentment wear off, she'll handle it.
I watched her today. She has that sense of self and independence so
rare and so necessary in a mother.
You see, the child I'm going to give her has a world of its own.
She has to make it live in her world, and that's not going to be easy."
"But Lord, I don't think she even believes in you."
God smiles. "No matter, I can fix that. This one is perfect She has
just the right amount of selfishness."
The angel gasps, "Selfishness?! Is that a virtue?"
God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally,
she will never survive.
Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect.
She doesn't know it yet, but she is to be envied.
She will never take for granted a spoken word.
She will never consider a step ordinary.
When her child says momma for the first time,
she will be witness to a miracle and know it.
I will permit her to see clearly the things I see--
ignorance, cruelty, prejudice--
and allow her to rise above them.
She will never be alone.
I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life
because she is doing my work as surely as she is here by my side."
"And what about her Patron Saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in
the air.
God smiles. "A mirror will suffice."
Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!!
ReplyDeleteOverjoyed to hear the news. We are still praying and I have a note on my blog for others to do the same today.
Much Love,
The Oehlers

Congratulations! Praying for your wife and your precious baby girl.
ReplyDeleteNate, First of all Congratulations! I know all too well what you are feeling, etc.
ReplyDeleteI am a 34 year old woman with CF and I had a baby in 2004 under somewhat similar circumstances. (lung function considered poor, but not yet transplant list) I was thankfully able to carry my son to 35 weeks, but then I started to have severe insomnia, anxiety, heart arrythmia, some major swelling, started to suspect pre-eclampsia, etc.
MAGNESIUM. TT the the docs about it. If it's safe to supplement her with it......if her magnesium levels are even "iffy", it's worth looking in to. Go to the National Institute of Health and search magnesium deficiency. Watch your baby (as I know they are), our little guy had "5th day crash" of hypocalcemia. (common to children of magnesium deficient moms with gestational diabetes)
If you can bank baby's cord blood, do so.
Finally, make sure when she is awake and actively coughing.....she is in an abdominal binder after her C-section. My hospital OB team was not prepared for an experience powerful CF cough and my C-section Dehisced (came open!) and I had to have surgery to repair it that was risky given my pulmonary condition at the time.
MANY MANY PRAYERS. IT DOES GET BETTER. It took about 6 mos post childbirth of aggressive medical care (mom doing traditional CPT on me 2x day) and a village of people helping with the baby so I could rest, but I finally blew PFT's that were at the level of my baseline prior to the baby. AND my baby boy is doing wonderful. He begins preschool next week. It's been a long road.
You are covered with prayers here and I don't mean to add stress~~~ those are just things that if I had it to do over....
wow, God is so good and will continue to be. Blessings for the days and weeks to come. Congrats. You will all be together again very soon and you can hold both your girls in your arms. Love to all.
ReplyDeleteGywn has guardian angels near her and with her at all times ... she has 1 on each side of her in her incubator. They will care for her while you are with Tricia.
ReplyDeleteTricia also has guardian angels with her. They will care for her even if you are not able to be with her.
Father, I lift these two girls up to you ... Place your hands around each of them, protect them both from harm, and continue to give Nate & Tricia peace about the situation. Give the doctors and nurses wisdom, strength and extra TLC when they are caring for Tricia and Gywn. In the name of Jesus, heal them, strengthen them and protect them. Amen.
Congrats....praying for you all....
ReplyDeleteseveral of my xanga friends have posted asking for prayer regarding your family. letting you know that another sister-in-Christ is lifting your miracle daughter and wife up in prayers, as well as the new daddy! congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWe have also never met, but I received an email call to prayer for your family. Praise God for the miracle birth of your daughter today. I continue to pray for the minutes, hours and days to come. I am humbled and awed by your family's decision to choose life, in light of the costs. I pray for God's healing on this sweet new life, as well as for Tricia.

ReplyDeleteGeesh, you guys will really need a rest when everything is over!! I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster. Congratulations on your baby. Our first weighed in at 3 lbs. I remember the love, fear, and wonder someone so small could be alive. We are praying!
ReplyDeleteI found this online and thought it fitting for your "new" family.
ReplyDeleteA Rose has sprung from a tender root,
From Jesus, as those of old have sung,
And it bore a flower,
In the middle of a cold winter,
When half spent was the night.
Isaiah foretold it, the Rose I have in mind;
Is Mary the pure, the little flower has brought us.
From God's eternal wisdom, she bore a child,
And remained pure.
The Flower, so small, whose sweet fragrance fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere;
True man and truer God, helps us out of all sorrows,
Saves from sin and death.
Oh Jesus, until we leave this misery,
Let your help guide us into joy,
In Your Father's Kingdom, where we eternally praise You.
Oh God, allow us this.
Best of wishes again.
ReplyDeleteI linked to your page from Melissa's. I am praying for your family.

ReplyDeleteI am a fellow CF-er and had a souble lung transplant almost three years ago. So much of Tricia's struggle resounds with me. She sounds like a girl I would love to hang out with! I am so glad that you have a beautiful baby girl--there is nothing I would love more than to get married and have my own children. You are both an inspiration to the CF community. :)
Thanks for the blog, and I will continue to pray for both of you and Gwyneth!!!!

Thank you for sharing your story with all of us who don't know you....I wish I did after reading all of your enteries!You have helped me to renew my faith and to really count my blessings in life every day.

I will pray for you guys. Almost 6 years ago, my twins were born at 25 weeks weighing on ly 1.2 and 1.3 pounds. They looked so much like your beautiful girl. We went through the many hurdles of the NICU. The strange noises, the fear that they might not make it through the night, the PDA surgery, a blood clot that threatened the right leg of one. So many emotions, so many days of tears, but all with TRUST in the Lord and knowing that HIS will was what would be best. Many thoughts and prayers will be coming your way for both your wife and your baby girl. Hang in there, be strong and trust in the Lord!
