I want to ask all of you to visit this blog and pray for this young husband and wife and unborn baby. Trisha and Nathan are young and expecting their first child, but unlike most of us they knew when they got pregnant that it could cost Trisha her life. She has cystic fibrosis (CF), which is a genetic disorder that particularly affects the lungs and digestive system. It is a life-threatening disorder that causes severe lung damage and nutritional deficiencies, people who have it are more vulnerable to repeated lung infections. Respiratory failure is the most dangerous consequence of cystic fibrosis. Also, the secretions block pancreatic enzymes that help digest fats and proteins, and they prevent your body from absorbing key vitamins.
Trisha was waiting for a double lung transplant when she got pregnant.
Trisha is about 23 weeks along, and is not doing well. The baby is nearing a stage where she could possibly live outside the womb, but every day the baby is inside of Trish at this point is life-threatening to her. You can read all about it at her hubands blog, and pray for this family.

Thank you for sharing their story, Gina. They are such an amazing couple...Tricia's the bravest woman I've ever known. Its wonderful to see the body of Christ surrounding them as they did our family during Isaac's journey.
Thank you!
