Surprise!



This was a surprise to us. We hadn't even asked if it was possible because we assumed it wouldn't be from the ICU, but Tricia's nurse (our new favorite) suggested it. You might notice that Tricia is on oxygen and not a vent...the first time we've visited Gwyneth without a Respiratory Therapist in tow.

Agnes had her ready for us when we arrived, and after a few minutes of crying, she settled into Tricia's arms like nothing had changed. Although Tricia's voice is very weak and raspy (normal for transplant patients), this is the first time Gwyneth has ever heard her voice as more than a whisper. It was awesome for me to hear Tricia talking to her baby for the first time as well.

Love this!

debangel said...

Praise the Lord! Gosh I love it when He's so obvious.

Tricia, I hope you read this someday, because I've gotta tell you, you look more put-together (is everyone checking out the neatly-pinned hair?) after a double-lung transplant than I do during a head cold. I'm sure one day you will happily have Cheerios stuck to you (unless Meka gets to them first!), but for now, just work it ;)

Wow! God is so good.

Nate, I have really appreciated your blog for the last 3 months or so, however, I must say, I can't wait until you are home, back to your regular life and don't have time to blog as much. I'll miss the updates because your family is so special, but I will smile knowing that the time you used to spend in the hospital with your ladies is now spent at the park, on a walk, out to dinner, reading stories and enjoying "normal" life to the fullest with your two beautiful and HEALTHY! ladies. May the Lord continue to bless you, and bring this day soon!

Praying for you and your girls here in Washington state!

Jenni (Mark & Tate, too)!
