This afternoon Gail, Agnes and I traveled to Durham. For Gail and I it's just a 24 hour trip. Agnes will stay and continue to tag team with Nathan, meaning one of the two of them is with Tricia 24/7.
When we got to her room, she wasn't there. But momentarily we found them walking up the hall. She looks great! There's still pain and a few tubes left to be removed, but she's sleeping well and growing stronger every day.
Later, when she was done with her walk we spent an hour or so with her in the room. And we got to hear her talk with her real voice for the first time in over 3 months. She sounds a little weak, but what a beautiful sound!
Then the three of us grandparents went down to visit Gwyneth in her new digs. She looks super. Still tiny, but looking more and more like she's ready to go home. Grandmommy Gail tried holding her, but she wanted none of that.
Thanks again to all the superb staff and caregivers here at Duke. It won't be much longer that these girls will be leaving.

Great post Rick. I just listened to your interview on Nate's blog. It was great. You did an fantastic job. I was pleased with your comment about how Nate and Tricia were able to demonstrate their trust in God and how their whole story is truely a miracle. I am impressed with how focused your family and Tricia's family have become one in trust, prayer, and recieving of God's word.
Continued prayer for health and improvemnets.
It must be so fun for you to go and see the wonderful progress in both of them from week to week! Tricia's voice must have been music to your ears....as was Gwyneth's statement of HER opinion when Gail wanted to snuggle with her! :) So, so happy for all of you!
Praise God!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the updates. Great news!!! Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
I look forward to hearing Tricia again and getting to hold Gwyneth.
Lucky!!!!!
Thanks for the great update!
I remember hearing my mom's weak voice for the first time in 5 months after she came out of ICU. It is a moment I will never forget!
Thrilled that Tricia and Gwyneth are doing so well.
Thanking God for Tricia's familiar voice!
Enjoy your visit!
I bet it was great to talk with Tricia and see that little grandaughter! They are both lovely!(Can't call Nate "lovely" I guess..heh but a wonderful guy anyhow!) Continued progress so they can get home to you guys continues to be prayed for!
God Bless
