UPDATE: We had such a wonderful answer to prayer. Thank you all for your prayers, good wishes etc. Alyssas heart transplant went well. It was over 6 hours. Right now I think she is semi-concious and she is in the ICU, she iis on a respirator, tons of tubes etc. Now they are watching for the rejection and I think she is critical but so far all is going as well as can be expected, and she got a special surprise, Babe Ruth's granddaughter and one of the Yankees players visited her on Friday, I think this was before she knew she was having the transplant.
So just keep praying for her that she will get stronger each day and not reject her new heart.
We are also praying for the family who suffered such a great loss but has blessed this wonderful girl with a new life.
