A New Heart.....A New Begining

Dr. Kaza just came out.  First things first....he was shocked at how sick Kaidence's heart was.  He went on to say that she was much sicker than she ever led on and that this new heart was badly needed.  He said that he hadn't quit seen a heart like hers before.  Her heart was encased in scar tissue that was as hard as bone.  The  heart was restricted and barely moving.  He wasn't sure that Kaidence would have lasted much longer.  The timing he said was in Gods plan and it was all meant to be.

Dr. Kaza said that God has a plan.....he just got into town last night.  Also, when matching for a heart you can take an extreme difference in sizes.  This one was the perfect size for her.  He also said that often when grafting a heart you sometimes just have to make it work but not this time.  This new heart he said "fit to Kaidence like Legos fit each other". He said it was an absolute perfect match, size and all for my girl.

Oh how I pray for this sweet family wherever they may be.   Much love to you all......I am going to see my baby girl.

I will update later.....Keep the prayers coming!

It's Beating...

"It's Beating"......These are the words that instantly bring tears to my eyes. It's so hard to understand how someone could give us such a gift. I am filled with HOPE! Devohn's heart has carried her with grace. Although it became very sick, it kept going. Never giving up, never missing a beat. With how severe K's Coronary Artery disease was....I think we were all shocked as to how well her heart handled things and for how long. So at last, Devohn's heart gets to rest. Knowing it gave life to another little girl. Giving a family enough time to learn her favorite color, the sound of her raspy little voice and for her to know her brothers. Finally, it gave her enough time to get a new heart so that her journey on earth could continue on. We love you Devohn, you are always in our hearts!

The Heart is Here!

Kaidence's new heart is here! As I type this they have started putting it in. Things seem to be going well. So much love already for the sweet little child that is saving my daughter. Religion, race and nothing else matters when it comes to Organ Donation. It's nothing but true, unspoken love for another!

Bypass

Kaidence is now on bypass.....and the heart should be landing at the airport around 8:00am and then it will likely be flown from the airport to the hospital by helicopter. Her bleeding is under control and things seem to be going well.

First Incision

We just got a call that all lines are in. Dr. Kaza is getting ready to make the incision. The other surgeon has already looked at the new heart and is removing it. It will take about 1 1/2-2 hours to fly it back. Thank You for the many prayers for our family and all families involved.... Words cannot even explain how blessed we have been. Kaidence is here because of a sweet little boy named Devohn who will ALWAYS be our Super Hero! They are forever a part of our family. How healing it has been to get to know them over the last 5 years. To think that once again we are on this journey. We have been given another chance with Miss K..... To these two families our hearts are humbled with nothing but pure love and prayers for you.

In Surgery

They just took back my baby girl......I am so nervous but know ALL is in Gods hands!

We have a HEART!!!

We have a HEART!!!  We got the call at 5:59pm.  We ask for prayers for Devohn's family and our new donor family.  May they find a little peace in their hearts as a their childs heart continues to beat on.  To all our dear friends waiting for hearts.....You are next!!!  Yes, Thursdays meeting will still go on!!! Check back here for updates.  Love to you all!!!
