Prayers have been answered! A big thanks to all of you who prayed and cared!What is all of this about? you ask?
Well, as you will recall, at the end of November 2009, Baby Christopher was born. He is the son of a Sports Writer in Oregon.
Christopher was born with severe Cardiac and Vascular problems. Long story short and bottom line is that within a couple of days after birth, it became apparent that intervening and temporizing surgery would not ‘work’. A Cardiac Transplant was urgently needed or else....
He was transferred in a Medical Jet shown in the picture above. Somewhere in that maze of equipment is Baby Christopher.
After waiting for almost 6 weeks, a donor heart was obtained. And another jet brought the donor heart, leaving behind a family who surely was grieving over the loss of their precious baby. But, in their grief, they gave the gift of LIFE to Baby Christopher. Pray for the family, friends, and relatives of the donor baby.
There is a wonderful website, Caring Bridge, which allows folks to follow the events experienced during illnesses, surgeries, etc. I was following the saga of Baby Christopher via that site.
Yesterday (Jan 16, 2010) Baby Christopher received the gift of LIFE. He was given a new heart!
Assuming that you would like to ‘experience the day’ with the family through the updates that were posted, I did a ‘cut and paste’ of the events and put them on a sub page for this blog. HERE’S THE LINK.
