A New Heart!!!
So miraculously, today we found out there is a heart for Ben!!! Oh my gosh, we can't believe it. The whole day has been a whirlwind rollercoaster but just a few minutes ago we were told the first inscision was made and the new heart is on its way here. I can't believe it! I am shaking with joy and excitement and grief for the family who lost their little one so that mine could live. Why the Lord has chosen to bless our family I'll never know, but I believe Cody and I will spend the rest of our lives trying to repay Him. Ben's eyes were wide open as we walked the long walk to surgery. I tried to tell him what is going to happen and that soon he will be feeling so much better. I love him so much and just can't believe there is a heart for him and so soon! Two days on the transplant list is unheard of. Heavenly Father sure has been watching out for him! More info to come....YEAH!!!!

Great news about the heart. It was meant to be that he was suppose to receive it. I have sent out a post to IHH members letting them know. I will be keeping watch to check your blog to see how things go and praying for great and marvelous things to happen with his recovery.

Hello all! My name is Stacy. My son Corbin is in the PICU. I heard about your sweet Ben during one of the parent hour lunches. What a bitter sweet feeling. What a whirlwind of emotions. What a rough start at life some of these little ones have to have. Please know that my family is here for your family, we are cheering your little miracle on, and your precious little man is in our prayers! Go Ben! You have so much life to live, so lets get living it! Love, Stacy and family
