Coolest Update Ever (Part 2)

Are you ready for this?


The paper work for Tricia's transplant is being taken care of today, which means Tricia could be listed and activated as early as THIS MONDAY!

I'll write more about this later (and answer your questions), but for now I just want to pause and say THANK YOU! to God for His continued miracles, THANK YOU! to the Duke staff for all of their extraordinary care, and THANK YOU! to our friends, family and total strangers who have been praying with us for this!

The only way you guys are going to top this is when Tricia gets to hold Gwyneth and then when Tricia gets her new lungs! (Looking forward to that time)

Fantastic news!!

I'm a new lurker from NC, sent from Sarah Smith's blog. Your story and love for your girls is inspiring! We'll be at Duke next week with our daughter to determine if her brain tumor is behaving itself! If I see you in the cafteria, I'll say hi...don't be afraid! I have a feeling you are going to start being "spotted" more and more! LOL

Rachel said...

All I can say is WOW! and Praise GOD! Also what a precious moment when you finally got to hold your sweet Baby Gwyneth. Praying for Tricia to have her turn soon, until then may the Lord give her patience as I am sure she can't wait for that opportunity.

The pictures and news on your blog today are just breathtaking. Who would have thought that this is where you'd be 3 weeks ago. We all thought there was a possibility we were going to watch a father and husband go through the deepest grief of his life... now we are watching the greatest joy of a miracle being played out before us...

Wow... I cry every time I read this blog. :-) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Lord!

Wow!! When you said you had the best update ever, I imagined that it would be kangaroo therapy or being listed. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that it would be both. I bet ya'll are on top of the world right now. I can't wait to hear/see that Tricia got to experience kangaroo therapy.

In addition to praying for your family, your story has spurred overdue conversations with my family about organ donation. We made sure we all know each other's wishes to be donors, and will have the paperwork in place.

I've always thought about donation in an abstract sense, but "meeting" yall has really put a face to what this means for families.

Travis and Tricia,
I have been following your story for a few weeks now and am so blessed to watch God do amazing things in your lives. As the director of a Pregnancy Resource Center I am fully aware of the preciousness of human life. How great it was to see the pictures of you holding Gwyneth. It is amazing the impact that can have on her health (as I am sure you are aware). Can't wait for the day when we hear that you all are home again. Thanks for sharing your story and your faith. Rejoicing with you everyday as our Father works on your behalf.

Nate & Tricia,
We used this song to open our Easter Son-Rise Drama Celebration on Jockey's Ridge last Easter. It is an Amazing, Beautiful classic hymn done in a contemporary way.

Nate, I believe you were one of our Roman Soldiers one year! So, picture the break of day and girls with Worship flags ushering the worshippers into the Throne Room of our Almighty God!!
These lyrics are just as timely today as when they were written in 1680!
I just might have to grab We're Art, a few Worships flags and go dance on Jockey's Ridge!!!!!!
We love you!
cindy w.

(Opening Worship Dance
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
from: Passion: Hymns Ancient and Modern
Lead Worshipper: Christy Nockels)

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
The King of creation
O my soul, praise Him
For He is thy health and salvation
All ye who hear, now to His temple draw near
Praise Him in glad adoration
Praise Him
Praise to the Lord
Who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under His wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth
And Hast thou not seen how thy desires e'er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
And Surely His goodness and mercy here daily attend thee
And Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriend thee
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him
And All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before Him
And Let the 'amen' sound from His people again
And Gladly for'ere we adore Him
And Let the ‘amen’ sound from His people again
and gladly for’ere we adore Him
Chorus (very slow)
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
hallelujah, (slight pause)
Hallelujah, hallelujah
