The transplant team just walked into our room (10:45 am) and told us that they have another pair of lungs that they are flying out to look at. Based on the little into they gave us, these sound more promising than the last, but there's always a chance this could be another dry run.
We won't know anything for sure until at least mid-afternoon, and if it's a go Tricia should be in surgery by this evening. I'll update as soon as I know something.
Tricia is, understandably, more apprehensive about this call than the last, but we are both praying that this is the one!
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for us, our families and friends, the transplant team and the donor and family.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 473 of 473What an incredible gift...the gift of time. I can't think of a better gift for your birthday, or for Tricia and Gwyneth.
Praying for your family, as well as the donor's.
May his will be done today, praying hard for all involved.
God Bless!

Praying for you all. What an amazing birthday present this could turn out to be!
Trusting in God's will, and lifting many prayers for you and Tricia. Thanks be to God...
Praying for Tricia's miracle lungs! Have had this overwhelming feeling all week, since Easter actually, that this will happen soon for you guys. Praying this is it and that Tricia will have her new angel's wings (lungs) by tonight. On our way out to lunch on business with Casey. When I return, will be praying a beautiful rosary with Tricia as my most special intention.

Have been following your blog for a number of weeks now. Just logged in this afternoon, with a "feeling" that today might be the day....so I am very excited to see it really might be! I will be praying for the lungs to be a perfect match and for the Lord's perfect peace for you and Tricia and everyone else involved. Thanks so much for letting us share in the journey God has you traveling. He is good and loves your little family SO much. Many blessings, dear brother. Oh and VERY happy birthday to you, too!

I've never left a comment before, but wanted to today to let you know I am praying for you, Tricia and beautiful Gwenyth. May Tricia receive the perfect lungs for her, in God's perfect timing, and grant your beautiful family many more years and memories together, outside of the hospital walls. Praying for God's will to be done, and praying His will includes healthy lungs for Tricia. God bless each of you ~ Julie (Florida)
