TWO YEAR TRANSPLANT ANNIVERSARY

Today marks two years with a new heart. 730 days with a fully functional, whole heart, providing adequate oxygenation to all of his organs.

He was barely surviving before transplant. We were watching him waste away, with probably only a week or two to go before it would have been necessary to move into the hospital to begin increasing levels of life support. 


Now he’s thriving. Now he can run. Now he can talk. Now he can play with his brothers. 


But it’s also been two years since another family lost their precious baby and selflessly chose organ donation.


We are so grateful.



Job 1:20-21 “Then Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head and fell on the ground and worshiped. And he said, ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.’”


Job 42:1-2 “Then Job answered the Lord and said: ‘I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.’”
