It is hard to believe that September 6 will mark the one year anniversary of Ela\u2019s heart transplant. We are currently in Philly for her 1 year post transplant heart catheterization which will be first thing very early Tuesday morning. Please be in prayer for a safe procedure\/recovery for Ela. These procedures have become pretty routine for Ela, but there are always risks. There will most likely be an intervention done this time as her left pulmonary artery has always been narrow. It sounds like the doctor will balloon it to open it up some to help increase the flow through it. He will also be checking different pressures within the heart and getting biopsies to check for rejection. If all goes well we hope to be home mid-week. We will post results once we know them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week has already been an emotional one. We have been thinking a lot of the donor and the family\u2026Reflecting on Ela\u2019s journey as well\u2026Please be in prayer for Ela\u2019s donor family. I am sure that the grief is especially hard this week and in the days ahead. They must miss their little one terribly. They should be getting our letter we wrote to them any day now. Please pray that they can find some comfort in it\u2026 knowing that their child and their choice to donate life has forever changed our family\u2019s life and we are eternally grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9137-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9131-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9129-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforgabrielaswarriors\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6275\/2025\/09\/IMG_9024-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabriela\u2019s Warriors!
