Tucker Takeover Thursday

I know this is a little late but I had to post about it! XL102 Radio station offered an amazing event called Tucker Takeover Thursday where ALL day was about Tucker! Items were auctioned off all day and they broadcast-ed their show at Capital Ale House in downtown Richmond from 2-7 Two bands played and SO many people showed up to show their support for Tucker! We raised over 1,000 dollars just from selling T-shirts and wrist bands! We can't thank XL102 enough and everyone else that made this event possible!







Support Support!!

We continue to get so much support! I know Tucker and his family are still overwhelmed and thankful for everything! I wanted to post more pictures people have been sending in!(some from overseas!)

Skydiving for Tucker!

So we have had lots of different kinds of dares done and one that completed was skydiving! A group of brave soul ventured out into the open parts of Virginia to jump out of plane! Crazy or dedicate? BOTH! Below are some awesome pictures from the event!!













Now its your turn to ask, have you dared to breathe?

Update from Tucker's Mom


Our CF warrior continues to amaze everyone! We are now learning how very sick Tucker was hours prior to surgery. On Wednesday the day after receiving his lungs, Tucker was back in the OR. I can now say he is responding well! ECMO machine, ventilator, catheter, neck IVs, have all been removed as he's being monitored in ICU. He walks 3 x a day, which is not an easy task and talking alot through his trache! Today is another swallow test so hopefully he'll get the green light to begin drinking/eating! The week has been successful and prayers answered. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he needs much strength and determination to continue forward. Peace to all.

UPDATE!

It's been awhile since I posted something, I apologize! There has been so much happening since our last post! Such as, Tucker is awake and he has been walking! This is such a tough thing for someone to do but Tucker isn't just anyone! Tucker's mom posted on Facebook that Tucker has been walking three times a day! Tucker you are amazing and so strong! You are an inspiration for so many people and we are all continuing to pray for you and think about you!

Tucker and Ms. Gordon,

Happy Mother's Day. I know things are so hard right now. Y'all are an inspiration to me for how strong you guys are. Tucker I knew you back in middle school and my mom use to help out in the clinic and when I found out about all this I didn't even know what to say. We never really talked but I definitely knew who you were. Tucker Gordon one of the cutest guys at Pocahontas haha.

You two like I said are an inspiration for how strong y'all are. Keep fighting Tucker and take care of Amy :)

Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mama's Day Page

This all still doesn't seem real. I find myself sitting in my car or ironing my clothes, saying little prayers asking God to wrap his arms around Tucker, Riley, Page and Amy. The unwavering love within a family is the greatest of gifts. Page has been a cystic fibrosis super mom. Her allegiance to Tucker and fighting his disease come naturally to her. Although Tuck can't be with us right now he is impacting hundreds of lives, mine especially. I am so thankful to know him, his family, and now the extended family that has been born as a result of his disease. I want to send out a big Happy Mother's Day wish to Page. She has shown us what it means to love someone and few things compare to the relationship they share.

Love you guys, Keri

Page,

Happy mothers day! I know that this mothers day you probably wont be receiving breakfast in bed, flowers from Tucker, or going to get a massage from Riley. I know that today it will just be another day of pushing Tucker to keep fighting and sitting and staring at him countless hours while he breathes easy for the first time in months through his vent.  Its a bitter sweet day but today you need to remember you are a mother, an amazing one at that. Its not fair as a mother what you have to go through, things in which most people will never be able to understand. The pain you have to watch your child endure that you cant take away from him is not fair. BUT you do have a sweet child who since was born touched countless lives. You have a child who raised 60 thousand dollars in less than two weeks because of his big heart. You're responsible for the child who has had such an ever lasting impact on people,in which he is to blame for countless tattoos, countless nicotine patches and gum in place of cigarettes, and many fallen tears from people that know him and also some that don't  I know today will be mostly about Tucker, but as doctors, nurses, and people come and go out of his room, as 99% of your day will be about Tucker i ask you to please stop and realize how amazing of a job you have done raising your kids. Not only Tucker, but Riley. Two of my favorite, sweetest, down to earth, big hearted people i have ever met, came 100% from YOU. YOU should be proud of yourself today and everyday. I love you Page and Happy Mothers Day.

XOXOXOOXO

Page & Tucker, I have been sending Lots of Love and Blessings and Prayers to you since I the day I met both of you. (Tucker 5 yrs ago & Page a mere  11 days ago on FB! )  In honor of  Mother’s Day I wanted to make sure that you both knew that those loving thoughts and prayers and blessings  are  getting stronger and more insistent and are being shared and sent to you and your family by thousands of us across the world…   Thank you for Page sharing Tucker and Riley with us. And thank you for allowing us all to be an extended part of your family. With Lots of Love and Lots of Warm Enveloping Hugs

(Aunt) Laura Lynch  XOX

I wanted to offer a special Mother's Day greeting to Tucker's mom… something other than the generic "Happy Mother's Day, Page!" Something personal and meaningful. Something that shows that I've seen what a wonderful mom she is. I've never met Page, though. After thinking about it, though, I realized that I have met her. In our friend Tucker. I've seen Tucker's easy, caring way with children. I've seen his polite, respectful manner with people of all ages. His good humor. Outgoing personality. Inclusive, friendly way. When I see Tucker, I see a well-rounded individual who enjoys life. One does not need to climb very high in the family tree to find the source of all of these precious qualities. So I say to Tucker's source, Happy Mother's Day, Page. It has been a pleasure knowing you!
