TX Update (12:13am)

Actually, no update, yet, but I wanted to let you know that... From what I can gather, the fact that we haven't heard anything is a good thing.

Tricia is watching tv, and I just ate "dinner" a few minutes ago. I'll let you know what happens next...

    Hi Nate & Tricia - I've been lurking on your site for awhile now. Anyhow - I just wanted to say that y'all are in my prayers. I hope by the time I awake in the morning that Tricia is either in transplant or nearly ready to go in. You have been in my prayers and will continue to be.

    Hi Tricia and Nate

    This is a good of time as any to post a comment. My name is maggie and I have been looking at your site daily for the past two months. I am 19 and have cf. So many of my friends have gone through transplant, I can't imagine the feelings you are having because I have never gone through it myself. I will pray for you during the night, and I hope tricia will be in surgery in the morning. As my doctor says...no news is no news, so I hope for the best for tricia and your entire family!

    I've been reading your blog regularly for several weeks now. and tonight, reading the hundreds of comments you've received in the past couple hours, I'm amazed at how many people are praying for you right now and have been praying for you for quite a while now. I just keep reading, crying, and praying. we're each in our separate online "waiting room" to hear the news, and yet we're all united: united by God, and united by your beautiful family whom we have all fallen in love with.

    I've been a bit shy about posting a comment but I couldn't hold back anymore and as I type this I'm filled with joy and happiness for your family. I've been reading the blog since late Jan and I apologize for not commenting sooner.

    Tricia will continue to be in my prayers...as well for you and baby Gwyneth and donor family. As some people have said before, your story have restored the faith that I've once lost and I tell you it feels so good to have him "GOD" back in my life....thank you.

    Just another thought before I head back to bed. Not wanting to go for fear I will miss an update but sleep is calling me. I took a look at your clustrmap and you literally have people in every timezone checking in on you. You have people praying for you as they fall asleep, when they wake up and all in between. This must give you peace. Excited peace I am sure but none the less peace.

    Nate, you are beyond good to check in with all of us who are up praying and hitting "refresh" on our screens. Can you feel all of us praying for you?

    At Mass today, when we prayed for special intentions, mine was that you would be able to eat and that Tricia would be able to sleep. One down, right? Tricia, please close your eyes and rest, honey. We all love you so much. And I for one am so grateful for what you, Nate and Gwyneth have done for my relationship with God. I just wanted you all to know that.

    Nate and Tricia,

    I've been following your story for awhile, but I've never posted. Your family is incredible, and I'm inspired by you everyday.

    Know that you are continuously in my prayers. I'm praying without ceasing that the perfect lungs are found for Tricia (hopefully tonight!), for wisdom and guidance for the transplant team, and that Gwyneth continues to grow and thrive. The donor family (and all donor families) remain in my prayers, too.

    Thanks for sharing your story.

    May these be the just-right lungs for Tricia, an amazing gift of life for her and all her family. May her surgery and recovery go smoothly, with God's guidance for the surgeons and health care team. May God hold you all close with strength, comfort and blessings tonight and in the days to come. May Gwyneth continue to grow strong and healthy, may Tricia soon hold her again in good health, and may you all go home joyfully together when the time is right.
    Glory and thanks be to God, whose power working in us can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God, from generation to generation...

I hope the family of the donor can gain some comfort knowing the wonderful thing they have done. Thank you for doing so much to raise awareness of organ donation. I live in Australia which has one of the lowest rates of organ donation in the world. I hope your story inspires others to consider giving such a wonderful gift.

    If I am not getting any sleep because I keep thinking about Tricia and the new lungs, then I can only imagine what you guys are going through....

    I'm so thankful for the donor and wonder what kind of person she/he was. I hope they were like me, and decided after reading your story, that they wanted to become a donor so that they could help people like Tricia after they have gone.

    Thank you for sharing the blog. You can know that your message has touched at least one person, me (along with everyone else too, I know) to become a donor.

    I will also let my family know my wishes so there is no confusion (also learned from your blog). Thank you Nate, Tricia, and little Gwyneth.

    Add two more members on your prayer partners . . . and maybe another dot on your map (not to mention another "Erin"). My good friend and I have been following your site for a while, having been directed from Dim Sum Mum - Tess' Little Pieces. She called me a while ago to bring me up-to-date on your posting from today (in case I hadn't read it today, which, for the first time in a while, I hadn't been able to do yet!). Even as far north as we are (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada), your prayer requests have been heard and are being responded to. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and will be lifted up throughout the night, along with the precious donor's family, whomever they may be.

    Blessings,

    Erin

    Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm up late studying for a test and monitoring the storms/tornadoes in OK.

    Your brothers and sisters in Christ are praying for your family and the donor's family--

    My daughter and i have been praying for 'gwyneth's mummy' all day. Thank you for the updates they remind us to keep praying.
    We've been praying that the doctors will be able to give her her new lungs soon, and that they will do a good job.

    Prayers from the Leech family in Surrey, B.C. Canada. I'm hoping for some really really positive news keeping in mind the loss of the donor family and their courageous and loving decision. I'll be checking back until I finally have to drag myself to bed!
    With love,

    heading back to bed, again. I'll be praying for you in my dreams. I can't imagine your excitement and fears as you wait.

    praying for the donor family...oh their pain. Lord, please comfort this family.

    As excited as I am for Tricia to be healthy for herself and her family... my heart is breaking for the donor family.

    Prayers are always with you - especially right now. I can't think of anything more uplifting to say other than God is so great and He will always be with you!!! I pray that this is Tricia's match! God Bless!

    I have just learned about your blog and read up on your journey. I know what it is to be desperately awaiting a transplant for a loved one, and you will be in my prayers.

    Your story of love, marriage, and parenthood is a beautiful one, and you are an incredible, inspiring family. May all go well!

    Just woke up to put one of my kids back into their bed (we always wake in the night to find one in with us) and had to check in. Can't wait to read in the morning! Hopefully Tricia's new lungs will have arrived at Duke!
