We can’t begin to Thank Everyone!
You guys!!!! We can’t begin to Thank everyone for all the prayers, the love and support. I feel like I’m just repeating myself, but we are honestly so incredibly humbled by just how many are willing to pray for and show love to Tate and our family. I never in a million years anticipated any of this. The page originally was created as I couldn’t possibly believe that Tate is as rare as we were told. I thought by creating this, parents would come out of the woodwork. I’ve had ONE parent contact me. A father from India who unfortunately lost his son after transplant for what sounds similar. I also prayed that God would use our situation to bring others closer to him. I never contemplated how we would be lifted up. Thank you! I’m in tears as words can never express our gratitude.
The cells ARE in! Despite the nausea and repeated meds for high blood pressure, (which isn’t out of the ordinary,) Tate did just as expected. She slept through much of it and will likely continue to sleep as her body is working harder than it ever will again. Now we pray for those cells to do their job and make Tate their new healthy, happy, home.
I stepped outside with pure gratitude this afternoon. It’s warm and sunny and the front lawn of the hospital is filled with families picnicking and kids playing while visiting loved ones. I’m so hopeful that Tate will soon enough get to see this in a whole different light. It’s emotional. I can’t say I’m not scared for what’s still in front of Tate. But I now know that when I can’t find the words, you all will lift us up. Thank you for being our Tribe. We love you!
