  8. Oh who helped you with her cute outfit???? Still praying in Louisiana

  9. Oh-No! Does this mean she has an infection there? I really really hope not. I'm praying the answer is no.

    ReplyDelete
  10. And obviously she's not being discharged since Gwyneth is with you.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I guess that was the source of infection?? Awesome picture btw!!!! :)

  12. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope that the PET scan tomorrow will be something to celebrate and that you all have great news to celebrate. Hopefully Tricia is feeling better and was able to be released today.

  13. PS - I know that you are really busy and probably haven't had the time to check but MckMama needs some prayers also. I know you guys follow her too.

  16. Nate, I love y'all's photo's together. I wish I knew what Gwyneth was thinking when she was looking at you.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I guess that is good and bad news. If that is the problem that's causing issues, it's good to get rid of it. I know she will miss it when it comes to getting chemo and blood checks. I didn't get one when I had cancer and I would mortgage the house to get one now if I needed it. I am praying for her and hope only the best!!! Gwyneth looks so big in that picture. WOW!!!

  18. Pumpkin in pumpkin! She's enjoying her fingers and looks so big in this picture!

  29. Praying for peace for your family in this disappointing time. We all had hopes that the chemo would kill the cancer and I'm saddened that it hasn't worked. The Great Physician is in control, as always, and He has a plan that is perfect for Tricia. Please let her know how much we are thinking of her and praying for full healing from the cancer.

  57. Tricia and Nate,
    I read your dad's update last night but I've refrained from commenting, feeling like you maybe needed space. But now I feel a strong urging to tell you both that I am lifting you up to the Father continuously. It is amazing to me how one can come to love people you have never met - but I think I probably speak for all your readers when I say that we have all grown to truly love you and your family. We all ache for you and will continue to lift you up to the Great Healer around the clock.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Read your dad's update about Tricia. So heartbroken right now but I am going to continue praying for her healing.

    Praying for a safe trip back home for all three of you and for wisdom for the doctors that are caring and deciding on the treatment for Tricia!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Just read your dad's blog... not sure what to say but wanted to let you know you are all in our continued prayers.

  60. Nathan!
    Gwenyth is getting sooooooo big! Hard to believe she was born so early. I'm loving the pictures and it's nice to read that Tricia is doing well. Good luck with her PET scan tomorrow. I hope she will be home with you both soon!

    Many blessings,
    Nicole

  61. I had hoped that no news was good news. After a day and half of no news I did not have a good feeling. I decided to read what others were writing and am heartbroken. Like one other poster wrote - It is amazing to grow to care for people that I have never met. I had such high hopes for the treatment that Tricia had been through thus far. We will just have to keep praying. It is hard to understand what God has planned in all of this but trusting Him is the best thing we can do right now.

    ReplyDelete
  62. She has grown so much, and she is just plain BEAUTIFUL! All God's best for Tricia

  75. Sad. Just sad. But still praying. And hoping you can find the slightest bit of comfort in knowing that there are thousands of us who love your family and who will fight and pray right along with you. But in the meantime, feeling sad right along with you.
