About a month ago I posted about my friend who had given birth to a baby girl in need of a new heart. Zoe was born on July 2nd, and has been on the transplant list to receive a new heart since shortly after she was born. The family learned of Zoe’s heart condition at Zoe’s 20-week ultrasound in February, and in the months that followed it was determined a heart transplant was the only option for Zoe.
This evening they recieved the call they had been waiting for – a heart for Zoe has become available.
PLEASE, dear Internet, stand with me. If you pray, please pray. If you meditate, or think positive thoughts, or light a candle to remember, please do so with me as Zoe goes into surgery tonight to receive a new heart. In your thoughts and prayers, please consider these things:
– Peace for the Faultner family as they rush to prepare for this life changing event.
– Strength for little Zoe to endure the very lengthy surgery.
– Strength and wisdom for the doctors and the other medical staff, as they perform this complicated surgery.
– The donor’s family, as they are experiencing a tremendous loss at this time.
Beyond these facts, I’m a little overwhelmed at the moment to write any more. I am truly amazed at how such a thing is even possible, that two forms of life can be fused together to support each other. I will keep you posted.
Praying for Zoe, sweet baby….
I believe in the miracles of science and the divine.
My dad received the miraculous gift of a heart transplant 9 years ago on Valentine’s Day. The surgery went well and the heart was a perfect match.
Today is my birthday and I’m only asking my Heavenly Father for one thing. “Please Lord, … “
Prayers coming to all from Boston. Peace, peace, peace.
Praying for Zoe.
praying, praying, praying…
There is so much more going on here than we can comprehend, isn’t there? Watching my children play in the afternoon sunshine the other day, I just could not believe bombs could be dropping on Beirut. I don’t know how to make sense of the bad, but I treasure the good. Sending prayers for Zoe.
