The Lawrenson's

A few months ago, I was perusing blogs and clicked on the side bar of Rachel's blog that took me to the blog of Nathan Lawrenson. I became fascinated with their story and have to admit that I've become a regular lurker to their site. I don't know these people but find their story an addicting evidence of our Almighty Heavenly Father.

It's the story of a couple who had been married for a few years when they found out that they were expecting a baby. This is incredible because the girl has Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and was scheduled to begin physical therapy for a double lung transplant the VERY NEXT DAY. She had to go off the donor list when she found out she was pregnant, and against the advice of every doctor, they decided to keep the baby. There was only a slim chance that both she and the baby would survive and in all likelihood, neither of them would. This couple has an incredible strength and faith in God and they were determined not to abort this child, no matter if it cost Tricia her life. Fast forward to January. Tricia is 24 weeks pregnant and her body can barely support her own breathing, much less the breathing of her baby. She has to have a ventilator put in and during the course of the surgery, an emergency C-Section has to be performed. Their precious baby girl is born at 24 weeks gestation and is clinging to life. Tricia is also clinging to life from an emergency C-Section in addition to her other CF complications. She gets placed back on the donor list and hope against all hope, she receives a new set of lungs. Fast forward to this past week. Tricia, Nathan, and Baby Gwyneth all get to come home! What an amazing God, Amazing miracle, and amazing story. They can tell it so much better than me. Follow their journey for yourself - http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/
