37 hours since we first received word of Tricia's lungs. 12 hours duration between saying goodbye and saying hello. 1 hour of sleep.Pure Joy. Intense Frustration. Sincere Thankfulness. Exhausted Relief.
I'll sleep well tonight, and I pray Tricia does the same. Tomorrow begins a new chapter in our story. We pray that it is the best yet. Thank you for helping to write it with us.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 229 of 229My emotions when I first logged on this morning and saw your eyes were "oh no"-something bad happened. Then I read and realized, no, something WONDERFUL has happened. It's so interesting and amazing how tears of joys can flow with the tears of sadness and frustration. My prayers, thankfullness, faithfulness continue to be with you and your family. Sending love from Lancaster, Pa.
Praying for some calm this morning. For good news. For growth. For strength.
I pray for no infection, no rejection and seamless pain control -- not too much medicine that she can't wake, but not too little that she hurts more than necessary.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry...or both. So I'll just pray.
NEW LUNGS!
NEW BABY!
NEW LIFE!
May the days ahead be full of JOY!
Praying in VA!
I am praying you are able to get some sleep. I will check on you and Tricia soon. What a miracle!

Hoping you got some much needed rest last night, you and your beautiful girl...can't wait to hear an update on her and see how she is doing...

Hopefully you both get some rest soon. I know it must be draining in so many ways. We are all still sending up prayers.
Hope that you all got some good rest last night and that you all have a wonderful day today :)
Hoping and praying that you were able to get some much-needed sleep last night. Day after day, I turn here for updates, and the song that immediately comes to mind, especially after this post, is Steven Curtis Chapman's "Go There With You"... the perfect song of the love of a spouse... of which you are a shining example. Tricia is so blessed to have your as her husband.
Go There With You...
I know you've heard me say these words before
But every time I say I love you, the words mean something more
I spoke them as a promise right from the start
I said death would be the only thing that could tear us apart
And now that you are standing on the edge of the unknown
I love you means I'll be with you wherever you must go
Chorus
I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone
And fill it up with you, make all your joy and pain my own
No matter how deep a valley you go through
I will go there with you
And I will give myself to love the way Love gave itself for me
And climb with you to mountain tops or swim a raging sea
To the place where one heart is made from two
I will go there with you
I see it in your tears, you wonder where you are
The wind is growing colder, and the sky is growing dark
Though its something neither of us understands
We can walk through this together if we hold each other's hand
I said for better or for worse I'd be with you
So no matter where you're going, I will go there too
I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone
And fill it up with you, make all your joy and pain my own
No matter how deep a valley you go through
I will go there with you
I know sometimes I let you down
But I won't let you go, we'll always be together..."
Okay so i looked up the lyrics of the song I found that reminds me of Tricia and its the songs name is actually Every Move I make (Waves of Mercy)by Hillsong
SORRY!

Praying for you Nate and your two gorgeous girls. I began reading your blog yesterday. The love story of Tricia and you (and now the beautiful Gwyneth of course!) is so beautiful and inspiring. I hope that you all had a nice nights sleep. God is GREAT! :-)
Love,

((Nate)), I hope the Lord gave you a restful night.
I also appreciate your willingness to share your story. You've shown that God will have the victory.
Still praying for the coming weeks and months ahead.
WOW, I have not seen eyes like that since I was in college and had to pull all nighters for finals! I hope you get caught up on your sleep over the next few days. Still praying!
Oh Nate. So many prayers are with you all.
