April 24

Today is the day the doctors originally told us to expect our first child to enter the world. Imagine how different our lives (and perhaps yours as well) would be if that had turned out to be the case.

We are thankful beyond words for the huge ways God has shown Himself in and through our lives and for the countless ways He has blessed us over these past several months. We never would have imagined that we'd be where we are now back on September 2, 2007 when we discovered Tricia was pregnant.



The reality that both Tricia and Gwyneth would survive and thrive after being given a 50% chance of surviving the pregnancy is amazing.

The possibility that Tricia would ever be a transplant candidate again after the pregnancy was limited.

The chances that Gwyneth would grow to full-term from 24+ weeks without any major complications was improbable.

The likelihood that Tricia would receive her new lungs after being listed and activated turned out to be nearly impossible.

Our God loves to move in impossible situations, not only to show us love, but to also show us His glory. We pray that, beyond everything else, people will see Him.
