We are very thankful to say that Gray has received his new heart! He will remain on the breathing tube for ~48 hours then it will be removed. We ask for specific prayers that he will have an easy journey off the ventilator and his body will accept the donated heart. All of his grandparents are with Kaila and Vince providing support. We are thankful for the physicians, nurses and other staff members that have dedicated their learning to help children like Gray. It is most certainly a calling, not a job.
We are also thankful for the donor family. During their time of grief, they made the very selfless decision to provide a life giving organ to Gray. We do not know the donor family but they could have donated other organs for more families than Gray.
Please keep your prayers coming. Gray and his family have a journey in front of them and will need your continued support. Also, please consider donating to www.cotaforgraysheart.com. We humbly thank you for each and every dollar donated.
