And she is doing so because of the incredible medical care and constant support from the team at Children\u2019s Hospital, who have carried her \u2014 and us \u2014 through these 100+ days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have now been waiting on the transplant list at 1A for 100 days for a gift that is impossible to fully process. Some days we can look at that reality head-on, but most days we can\u2019t. Right now, we take this one day at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in the middle of all this waiting, Sabrina keeps living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She giggles. She chatters. She eats pur\u00e9es. She rolls over. She\u2019s got her first teeth. Ordinary baby things that feel extraordinary when nothing about your life feels ordinary anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we acknowledge the waiting, the grief, the hope \u2014 and we celebrate Sabrina, who continues to show us what it means to fight simply by being herself. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc9c\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t35\/2\/16\/1f49c.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforsabrinaschangeofheart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6656\/2025\/12\/Photo-14-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforsabrinaschangeofheart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6656\/2025\/12\/Photo-14-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforsabrinaschangeofheart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6656\/2025\/12\/Photo-14-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforsabrinaschangeofheart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6656\/2025\/12\/Photo-14-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforsabrinaschangeofheart\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6656\/2025\/12\/Photo-14.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>100 days as Status 1A.
