My two year old grandson Timothy has been  in very critical condition for quite some time as a few of you know.  Yesterday he received the new heart that we have been praying for.  Thanks for all the prayers that were so freely given by my friends on this site.  I'm sure they helped  more than we know.
  This is the best Christmas ever.

     Timothy has been sent home from the hospital and will make a complete recovery. Thank you for praying for him and the donor.
Thank you over and over .

And let's not forget Ike's little guy, Riley! What a year they went through with him. This is all such wonderful news for all of these little boys.

I am so glad to hear your grandson was given a new chance at life with a new heart! My prayers are with you and all these little guys!

Charlotte

Thats great news, Potter!!!! [smiley=sayyes.gif]

Potter, I should have said this to you earlier in a PM...


So I will say it here.

As much as all of us praying and hoping Potters grandson's body accepts this heart....I'd like us who pray.. to offer up a few for the child who donated. And his wonderful family who made that heart-breaking decision.   :'( :'( :'(

For once I was right  ;).  I told Potter Christmas Eve was the time for miracles. And I agree with Linda, a family somewhere is now grieving the loss of their child.

happy dancin' darlin

PS If you are able, please be an organ donor (I would, but Hep B took care of that).

Wonderful!! I didn't know.... I hope he continues to recover swiftly and completely. :)

that's terrific Potter!

awesome news potter! please keep us updated ;)

That is wonderful, Potter.  Please DO keep us informed!

Jeannie

Fantastic news, Potter.

A VERY merry, and miraculous Christmas!

Prayers still coming that Timothy will thrive new heart, and prayers going out to the wonderful family whose pain made this possible that they will they will be able to cope with their loss a little easier knowing that they helped another child in need.

tearing up here... at a loss for words.

What a wonderful Christmas gift!

Many hugs,

Potter,

That is wonderful news!

Pete & Joyce

Phenomenal news.

All the best!!

Wonderful news Potter.  We'll be praying for both your grandson and the family of the donor.  I hope the good news about Timothy is able to assuage their grief to some extent.  I know God understands their pain, and Christmas time is the time that expresses the gift the most.

I must have been out of the loop on this.  Sorry I didn't know about Timothy before now.  We'll definitely add him to our prayer list.

God bless.

Jerry

Potter,

I have been hoping to hear this wonderful news!   Thank you for sharing it with us!  

Much happiness to all of you,

Jeannie

What great news, Potter.

I'm assuming that little Timothy will have to take anti-rejection drugs the rest of his life. These drugs supress the natural immune system, which make being in a crowd situation a bad idea.

If he ever gets down about it, tell him with the proper documentation, he gets to go to the front of the line at amusement parks.

:) :) :) WONDERFUL NEWS  :) :) :)

Thank You, Lord.

Love to you all, Potter...

One of JrBrew's dearest friends received a new liver at age 4.  Looking at him now (at 17) you'd never know.  He takes his anti-rejection drugs faithfully and is careful about being around sick people (chemically suppressed immune system), but otherwise he's a normal teenager.

Your grandson has a beautiful future ahead of him!

Sweet news Potter.  Thanks for the update.

Now go enjoy that little guy  ;)

That is wonderful news Potter!!  :)  Thanks for the update.

Fantastic news.  Thanks for letting us all know, Potter.

All the best,

George

what great news Potter, thanks for letting us know.

Way to go Timothy!! You rock young man!!!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

 That is a Christmas gift that will last the rest of Timothys life.  I'm going to say more prayers for the almost impossible act of generosity of the donors family.

That had to be the most heart-wrenching decision they have ever had to make.  

I can't even imagine the joy in your family right now Potter.  Get that car all cleaned up so you can take him for a ride in it soon.  
 

Wonderful news to hear!!!  What a strong little man you have there Potter.  May his health continue to strengthen and build and his life be a long and happy journey.

Cat

Potter Thank you for making my day.  :)

Some angels get it right.

Before you know it Timothy will be going on fishing trips with ya.

with warm regards,
Tony
