Update on Aurelia 4/15/2026 Aurelia is doing fabulous. The breathing tube was taken out yesterday, she was put on high flow oxygen and a few hours later she went on oxygen and now today, she’s on room air breathing on her own 100%. Aurelia is talking, sitting up and doing well. She is tired and will be up for a little bit then sleeps for a while. We are so proud of her and her progress. I’m so happy and thankful for the donor and the beautiful heart that we were blessed with!!! Thank you and we truly appreciate your gift!!! You are a part of our family.

I’m so excited to hear this news! I was unaware of this site, with all its updates until today. I just heard about the transplant yesterday, and have been wondering how Aurelia was getting on.
Aurelia, we all miss you! You look great in your photos. I hope you’ll continue to build strength and come back to us soon!
Much love and Aloha!
