TX CALL!


We just got a call from the transplant coordinator at 6:26pm. They have a pair of lungs that could be a match. They're checking them out now to be sure, and the nurses are getting Tricia ready. It could be a dry run, but we're hoping that Tricia will be in surgery within the next few hours.

Tricia is very excited and anxious. We've contacted our family (or left messages).

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers right now. I'll update as soon as I hear more.

You are all knowing and see the big picture. Prepare Tricia's body to except these lungs, prepare the doctors hands that will working on the transplant.

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."

I am hoping that you indeed get the 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.

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

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

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

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

This is my first comment but what a great time for it. I have been following the blog for quite some time now. And while I do usually check in daily, today was the first time that I had an extremely strong urge to do so while I was making puff pastry. When I checked the blog later I realized that I felt that pull just around the time that you heard.

All three of you are in my prayers as well as my families. I hope that every thing goes as well as it should. I know that God has you all in his capable hands and I thank you for reminding me of the relationship with him that I have let lapse in recent years.
