Recovering

Amelia is back in her room and starting the recovery process.  She looks very good!!!  The next 24 to 48 hours will be the first critical hump we need to make it over, but she has a good start.  Praise God.  We are so thankful and grateful and we can not express in our hearts how excited we are.

Amelia Has Her Heart

Amelia has her heart.  She is still in the OR, but she is doing well and should be up in the next hour or two.  Thanks for the prayers.  Keep praying.

Our Heart is Here

Amelia's heart just walked through the front door at the hospital.

In Surgery

Amelia is in surgery.  It will be at least 6 hours before she is back (10pm Pacific) and probably later...maybe after midnight.  Keep praying for Amelia!!!

A New Heart is On It's Way

We just got word from our transplant team.  We are go for transplant.  We are now waiting for her to go down for surgery.  She should be back to her room late this evening or very early tomorrow morning.  Please pray for everything to go better than expected and that she has no problems and no complications.

This may be the day

We received our phone call early this morning.  Our surgeon is probably on the ground right now looking at a potential heart for us.  We will know for sure within the next 2 hours.  Please keep praying!!!
