TX Update (7:43pm)

We've learned that the transplant team is flying out of state to examine the lungs and donor. We may not find out for sure if it's a go for a few hours, and the surgery would not take place until at least early tomorrow morning.

They are getting Tricia ready. She has already given about 15 vials of blood and has had an EKG.

Please, also be thinking about and praying for the donor's family. Even if this isn't Tricia's match, somebody has died today willing to give the gift of life, for which we are always thankful.

I'll update again when I learn more.

  18. Just for fun between 7:53 and 7:54 I watched how many hits you had. It was 59. This is going to be a long evening for everyone. You are in my thoughts and prayers. As someone who lost a loved one suddenly in a car accident my thoughts are with the donor family. Obviously we don't know the circumstances of the donor's death but none the less it is a loss for this family. Do what you can to relax for the next few hours and rest in the fact that people all over the world are praying for you.

Be with Tricia as she prepares, bring her peace, let her know you are by her side through the whole process. Be with her family as they wait for news. Oh Lord let this be an ansered prayer PLEASE! In Jesus' Glorious Name, we all pray AMEN!

  80. I am praying for Tricia and you and for the donor's family. I am so excited. I hope it is the real thing and not a dry run, but if it is a dry run hopefully it will better prepare you all for the next call. This brings back memories from my "call" almost 8 years ago for lungs. My first call was the real thing, I also got called about 8 at night but it was the next morning before the transplant actually began. It is a time of excitement and new beginnings and I hope and pray that by tomorrow night this time you will be telling us that all went well and Tricia is resting comfortably. My prayers also go out to the doctors involved in the operation, that God guides them and gives them the wisdom to do the surgery skillfully and perfectly.

  101. We are praising God and praying!! We had a sweet family prayer time just before the kids went to bed- they were so excited for Mrs. Tricia!! :) And they all remembered to pray for the donor's family, too. Nothing like the innocent prayers of children to melt a parent's heart! I'm sure that must be how God feels every time we talk to Him!!

  114. How lovely to get THE CALL today on Sunday ..... the Lord's Day!

    Just hours ago you posted the words to that beautiful song, "The Blessing."

    Tricia, I am hoping that you indeed get your "Blessing" that we've all been praying for!

    Praying for this to be the perfect pair of lungs for you, Tricia!

    Also, how interesting the first few lines of that song, Nate.

    Think about those song words from the donor's point of view.

    Let it be said of us while we walked among the living
    Let it be said of us by the ones we leave behind
    Let it be said of us that we lived to be a blessing for life

    And, let it be said of us that we gave to reach the dying
    Let it be said of us by the fruit we leave behind
    Let it be said of us that our legacy is blessing for life

    Your donor "LIVED to be a BLESSING for LIFE....."

    SO AMAZING that the Lord prompted you to post those beautiful song lyrics this morning!

My niece was transplated a little more than a year ago and I remember the feelings well from the viewpoint of the family members. It's somber, and exciting, and a memorial to him or her who perished and shared. Thanks for updating, Nate.

  125. For the past three days every time I've clicked refresh on the window I keep open for your site - I've been asking the Lord - "Could you give Tricia her lungs today?" I really felt like the Lord was prompting me to ask fervently and often.

    Praise Jesus for the person who choose to give the precious gift of organs - no matter who gets them.

  143. I've been following your blog for a long time, but have never commented. This is enough to make me de-lurk.

    I'm praying that this is it for Tricia! And if it's not, then for the person that will receive the lungs as well as for the family that has lost a precious loved one. May God be with you all as you wait to hear the news and during and after the surgery.

  172. Tell tricia to wash her hair really well tonight since she wont be able to do that for a while after surgery. My cousin had same surgery and that was her advice! Bless the donor's family during this heartwrenching time for them. May they be comforted knowing their gift of organs will be helping many people, and hopefully if its a match, Tricia too! Blessings!
