Gwyneth Rose Update

So, in the past 24 hours, Gwyneth has been moved completely off of any IV/Pic lines (delayed for a few days) and has been moved from CPAP to the Nasal Cannula and is on 1.5 liters of O2 (which is stinkin' amazing).

And, I've seen her lift her own head completely off her bed a few times, which I find incredible considering she should still be swimming around almost weightless inside her mother's womb.

Here are a few pics I just took.

  7. Amazing...everytime I see her pictures I can hear one of the first songs I remember you played after she was born...Hands On a Miracle.

  8. Oh goodness, she is so incredibly precious, and so very cute! I love the pose in those pictures.

    Praying that she'll do well on the cannula and not ever have to go back to cpap or vent again!

  9. She is so awesomely beautiful! Look at that red hair! Is is really that red?

    If they removed the iv is she feed only milk now?

  10. My son is two and adores Gwyneth. He recognizes her photos and says, "There's Gwyneff! She's really really small. I love her. I give her kiss." So beware, Tricia & Nate, if she's already got a fan club (I'm sure Andy isn't the only toddler in love with her), you're in for loads of fun later on ;)

  13. What sweet moments. :) BTW, I didn't know how best to spread the word about you guys and ask my friends to pray, sooooo...I created a "group" on Facebook called "Praying for the Lawrenson Family", listed your blog site and then invited almost everyone I know. :) I can't wait to see what happens. :)

  33. Wow, her progress is just amazing! I can't believe she's off Iv & PICC's!! And on the nasal cannula! Her cannula must be soooo tiny compared to mine! :-)

    And her neck is getting so strong already! God is really answering prayers!

  43. Your Baby is so Pretty. I am glad I was able to see a update. I remember a lady who ordered a premie shirt/blanket from my website for the little one. I never forgot her. I have been praying for you and your wife and baby. Making her things was truly a blessing. I prayed as I made them that God would touch her little body and help her heal. I was never moved so much by anything I have made. I could not get her off my mind. I had to say I am inspired by your blog and the love and commetment for your wife and daughter. I will continue to pray for them both. I was a former mom of a premmie. What we endured was nothing comapred to your story. But that said she is very pretty. Congrats on your baby and I hope to see more updates too. Many Blessings God Bless Joy M.

  44. Oh Nate that is absolutely wonderful news! God is so good and he is definately watching over your little girl.

    All the pictures you have shared of her so far have been wonderful but the first picture in this post is the most beautiful precious picture I have ever seen.

    Thank you so much for sharing :)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  48. She's simply gorgeous! I'm so glad that she's making such wonderful progress!! It's also nice to see her beautiful little face with just a small oxygen hose hooked up to her nose. What a sweet little girl!! She's lovely! What an awesome answer to a ton, ton, TON of prayers! Amen.

    Love,
    Brianne

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nathan, that IS truly amazing! Only 1.5L of O2! WOW! And she loves her tummy, doesn't she! Look at that little head resting on her arms. Beyond words precious!
    The words of an old Gaither song just started going through my head(This is old Southern Gospel, Nate...Not country :):))
    "If it keeps getting better and better, if He keeps on pourin' it on....if it keeps gettin' better and better, Oh Lord...I don't know what I'm gonna do!"
    Ok...so I just dated myself! It's just what came bubbling to the surface when I read this post and saw those pics! :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Nate and Tricia-She is getting BIG! You can see the difference in her cheeks. What a beautiful little girl. I was able to share your story with my best friend tonight. She and I just sat and cried at how awesome God is. She loved the pictures of Gwyneth and Tricia. Thanks again for being willing to share this part of your journey with complete strangers.

    With Love, The Hagers in Michigan

  74. Hello Nathan, Tricia and Gwyneth,
    I have been reading and praying for you over the past month and I am embarrassed to say this is my first comment. I am AMAZED at the progress you ladies have made!! Praise be to God!! Gwyneth looks absolutely amazing on a nasal cannula!! Tricia, you are an AMAZING woman of God!! Nathan, you are an AMAZING man of God! Bless you all! Thanks for sharing your message of HOPE with everyone! I have shared your story with several people and know that the Lord is using you to touch soooo many!! My prayers continue...
    hugs,
    Jen (a NICU nurse)
    p.s. Please encourage the NICU nurses to cut down the 'tegaderm' (stuff holding up her nasal cannula) out of Gwyneth's left eye if it's really on it like it looks in the pictures...ouchy!! :( She's sooo beautiful!!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Look at that translucent skin! How amazing. What a little trooper. It's easy to see why she'd be a favourite around those parts :)

    Jen.

    ReplyDelete
  76. She is so sweet! The nurses need to get the Tegaderm out of her eye so it doesn't scratch her cornea. I'm so glad all the preemie problems have thusfar illuded her. Continued prayers!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Praise the Lord!! What a precious miracle she is....She is so gorgeous!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Well, I was going to leave a comment on here saying how amazing it was at how far Gwyneth has come, but really when you think of God's power - it's not so amazing, is it? Just humbling.

    God bless you and your precious family, and thanks for taking the time to sign my blog. :)

  86. She is just incredible.

    Seriously...hand on a miracle is her theme song. Every pic I look at that song plays in my head.

    wow.

  87. Way to go Gwyneth! Amazing, so wonderful! I love her hair it's getting darker.

    ReplyDelete
  88. oh my, look at her! so gorgeous-but you know that already!

    ReplyDelete
  89. ATTA GIRL, GWYNETH!!! That is amazing, and she is getting cuter by the day. I've been lurking for ages but am not religious at all and felt like it would be rude to not say what everyone else tends to say in their comments here, then decided to get the heck over myself. I stalk Bloglines all day long for updates, though, and yesterday on my blog urged my readers that if any of them were Bill Gates they drop a chunk in the trust fund, LOL! How's that? Seriously, I have three special-needs children, two of whom were early although not as early as Gwyneth, and she is putting the little rugrats to SHAME! They're all doing the best healthwise in ages, and there is nothing like the awe you feel watching your child beat odds, is there? Also, Spiderpug made me pee my pants (kidding) and then I showed my three Spiderpig-obsessed children and one of them REALLY peed their pants. THANKS A LOT!

    ReplyDelete
  90. She is a beauty. Her recovery is a miracle. Thank God. I pray for your family daily!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I have been following your blog for some time now after a friend gave me the link. Let me just say your story has touched me deeply. I want to cry (in a good way) when I see the beautiful pictures you posted of your little rose. She is truly a miracle...a beautiful miracle, and I am grateful to God for the gift of her life. You and your girls are often in my prayers!

    ReplyDelete
  92. What a great way to end my night with a wonderful picture of Gwyneth on a nasal cannula!! Wow!!

    I have a feeling she's in competition with her Momma to see who can put on weight the fastest. She's getting some chub to her cheeks!! (And yes, I know it could just be how she's laying, but I betcha she's gonna be putting on the ounces real soon!!)

    I'm thrilled that's she's on minimal oxygen!

    ReplyDelete
  93. What a little beauty!!! You have to be so proud!!!! Those are the best pictures yet! (My prayers are with you all daily...)

  94. your baby is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Oh my gosh, that is so amazing. She is going to have those darling cute baby cheeks. I love, love, love baby cheeks. Both my grandsons have them in spades, and my granddaughter had them too. I just found out that my good friend is on the same Mommy message board as Tricia's sister. I guess that's how my daughter, also friends with my friend, found your blog. Small world.

    ReplyDelete
  107. This may be a silly question but why do they generally have preemies on their stomachs when the "back to sleep" motto wants you to put them to sleep on their backs.

    I'm so happy for you two that she is doing so well.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Awesome news. I am thinking from the most recent pic's that she is going to resemble daddy. Minus the stubble and red eye's, of course. (wink)

  130. Gwyneth is so very beautiful, and she is an amazing little fighter. I have been following your blog for some time now, and I just love to read the updates throughout the day. I know you have an amazing group of people offering you encouragement and support, and I want to offer a little more. I also have a little preemie who weighed 1 pound 8 ounces and was 16+ weeks early. He is doing great. There is hope. God is still doing miracles. You are doing a great job with your family. Thank you for sharing your lives with the rest of the world. I will continue praying for you, Tricia, and Gwyneth.

  145. She's beautiful, and I love the color of her hair! Is it in the auburn family? When you, Tricia, and the baby are out in public people will make so many comments on her hair you will be amazed.

    My baby duaghter is in the auburn family and she gets so many comments about it, and women are always trying to dye their hair that color. Check out my blog if you want to see her hair color, which I had at that age also, but it has darkened with age:)

    I'm happy that your beautiful daughter is doing so well and I pray that she continues to amaze-it truly is amazing to see what God can do and what prayer can do!

    Thanks for sharing her with us.

  148. Wonderful news! I continue to be amazed by Gwyneth's excellent progress. No, that's the wrong word - it's a feeling of awe and wonder - a sign of God's presence and healing powers.
    God is great, and can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine!
    Continuing to pray for Tricia and Gwyneth...

  150. Everyone keeps saying she is beautiful (which she is :) so I had my girls look up beautiful in the thesaurus. We homeschool so even a comment on your blog becomes a language lesson! LOL! So they chose the word (drum roll please...) PULCHRITUDINOUS!! Gwyneth is PLUCHRITUDINOUS!! It is a word you can use next time to beat Tricia at scrabble!

  151. So happy to hear how wonderful your little one is doing. After working in the NICU for 3 years I "understand" medically what you are going thru but not emotionally. I love seeing how her hair is growing. Looked back at older pics and it has really grown! She is precious!

  152. Long time reader; first time poster. Just had to say that I am so happy for your family.

    My 25 week preemie son was about a month old when he made it to the cannula and off the IVs/TPN all on the same day (Dec 28, 2006, I will never forget it). He really turned the corner then, started to grow and was generally much more content.

    It is actually the one year anniversary of his homecoming tomorrow. I can't wait until you get to experience the thrill of that milestone, with both your girls home.

    Best regards,
    Erin

  154. She is amazing! Thanks for continuing to share pictures of her with us. We own the PUG Webkinz so whenever I see it "flying" around the house, I keep thinking "WOW, that's how small Gwyneth is"!

  156. I hope my question isn't upsetting to you, but is that tape on Gwyneths face?
