A friend of a friend

So I put a website entitled this on the great websites links. But I want to expound on it. My friend Patience has two friends who just had a baby. Their blog is www.cfhusband.blogspot.com. Their story is this: the wife has Cystic Fibrosis and found out she was pregnant (unplanned). The doctors encouraged her to abort b/c she was on a waiting list for a lung transplant. She and her husband knew aborting this child God have given them was not the right thing to do, so she carried the baby. At 24 weeks she had to give birth via c-section b/c the baby was making her CF symptoms worse. The baby Gwenyth Rose is at Duke along with mom as they are both healing and gaining strength. The mom, Tricia, is waiting on a lung transplant. The blog is written by Nate, the father & husband. Their story is incredible and the trust they have in God is amazing. Please pray for them.

For me to read their blog ( I look at it daily) is incredible b/c Gwenyth is the same age as Emma Grace. So here is a child outside the womb that shows me what my daughter looks like inside my womb. Hard to explain- but very moving for me to see.
