We took Isaac to the ER in Danville for shortness of breath on Sunday evening, March 24th. There they found that he was in heart failure and sent us by ambulance to UK hospital. More tests were run, a blood clot was found in his right ventricle, and it was decided in under 12 hours that he needed to be transferred to Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital and placed in the care of the heart transplant team. We were flown by helicopter to Children\u2019s on Monday morning, March 25th. Because of the blood clot and his heart failing, Isaac had surgery on Thursday, March 28th<\/sup>, to give him a total artificial heart until a new heart was identified for him. The total artificial heart was an amazing machine that actually helped to heal the organs that had been damaged by heart failure.\u00a0On Tuesday, April 2nd, we were told a heart had been identified for Isaac and surgery would take place the following morning. It turned out that was not the heart God had for Isaac. We waited another week and on April 10th Isaac had life-saving heart transplant surgery. His recovery has been phenomenal. We are in total awe of the gifts and talents God has given the nurses, doctors and staff here at Children\u2019s and thanking Him for His mercy and care. I\u2019ve had the thought that when God created Isaac\u2019s new heart in his donor, He knew it would be Isaac\u2019s heart, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Children\u2019s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) helps children and young adults who need a life-saving transplant by providing fundraising assistance and family support. COTA is the nation\u2019s only fundraising organization solely dedicated to raising life-saving dollars in honor of transplant-needy children and young adults. 100% of each contribution made to COTA in honor of our patients helps meet transplant-related expenses. COTA\u2019s services are free to our families, and gifts to COTA are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
