Back on the List!!!

Tricia has had several good weeks, including increased strength and an extra pound or two, and today we were informed that she is officially back on the transplant list.  Her allocation score is higher than it was back in the fall when she was listed, which means she is higher on the list, so we are praying that everything will fall into place before she has another setback.  She begins a new med tomorrow and needs to show no signs of an allergic reaction, so you're welcome to pray about that as well.

Thank you so much for your prayers that have helped so much to get Tricia back to where she needed to be to be relisted!  And thank you to the Duke team...even when we were both nearly ready to give up several weeks ago, they continued to tell Tricia to hang in there and give us hope that she could be relisted.

  52. Praise God for his infinite mercy. Tricia has worked so hard for this day. Praying for transplant soon.

  53. AWESOME NEWS! :D I'm very glad to hear this, especially since things looked so glum for a while there, in terms of Tricia ever being relisted. Here's to a FAST location of new lungs for her and a SUCCESSFUL transplant!

    You and I are polar opposites in our thoughts on religion & politics, but that doesn't mean we have nothing in common. :) We both are wishing the best possible things for Tricia! And we both dearly wish for a CURE for cystic fibrosis!

    BTW, the reason I found your blog (and later, your Twitter) in the first place is because a close, longtime friend of my has a son with cystic fibrosis. I've known her son since he was a baby. He's 17 now. Through my friend and her son, I've also become friends with 2 other folks w/ cystic fibrosis, both of whom had lung transplants. One of them is no longer alive, but one is alive and thriving!

    Thinking GOOD thoughts for Tricia as always!
    Cheers from Redwood City, California,
