We just got another hourly update and they said the heart had just arrived from Sacramento. They had finished reconstructing the aortic arch and pulmonary arteries and were going to be attaching and putting in Gracey's new heart.
What a scary thought to think of her having her little heart taken out, and for a moment, only having a machine doing all the work of keeping her alive for her. Wow. What a miracle that technology has come so far.
Who knows how much longer it will be!? An hour, maybe an hour and a half...but I know that all will be well and that Grace has had angels watching over her these past long hours.
Thank you for your prayers.
Hopefully the next update will be to say that all is well, finished and that we are on our way to see our angel again!!
Love you all!

We can't stop thinking of you and your little Gracey. Our prayers are with you. We truly hope things progress well. I can't imagine the anxiety you must be feeling. I hope the peace lasts as long as possible. Angels most definitely attend to these little ones.

Thank you, thank you, for the updates. It's so nice to be able to check the blog and know what's going on. We love you very much!
Just to let you know, Gracie's name was in two temples in California.
It was not a surprise to me that her heart came from out of state.
I pray also for the mourning mom and dad of the other child but also for their realizing that part of their child will live on and give hope to another mom and dad.
Much Love,
Grandma Atkinson
