I've been following this blog for a couple of months now, probally all the way back about the same time I moved to school. I don't remember how exactly I found it, but I did, and I have been hooked.
Perfectly named, Confessions of a CF Husband, Nate daily blogs about the day to day happenings of his wife, Tricia having Cystic Fibrosis. Their story is anything from ordinary. They are a young couple, and just this past summer, Tricia began the process of being evaluated to be placed on the double lung transplant list at Duke Hospital. After being placed on the list, they began to make plans to temporarly move to the Durham area. Exactly one day before they were set to begin the move to Durham, Tricia and Nate discovered that Tricia was pregnant. This was indeed a mircle baby. I won't share all the details because that would take the fun out of you going and reading his blog, but each day they beat the odds in every way. Their sweet baby girl was born at just over 24 weeks. She is currently in the NICU, growing stronger each day. Each day since their baby girl was born, Tricia has been working her way back on to the transplant list. When Tricia was re-evaluated, she was placed at the top of the list, meaning that she would be the first one called, if a match arrived.
Today, (Sunday) they got the call that the transplant team had a possible match for Tricia. At last I checked, there is still no definite, but they are prepping her for surgrey. If these lungs are a match, she will be in surgrey by early morning. This could very well be a dry run as well though. Pray that this is a match for Tricia, as she has a awesome husband, and a beautiful baby girl as well as an amazing amount of extended family who are cheering her on.
