Gracie Needs Your Prayers




This is Gracie . Gracie was born last March with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, or HLHS. This past year has been one ordeal after another for Gracie and her family as she went through one complication and procedure after another. You can read all about it on their BLOG. This picture is of wee Gracie as she waited to go in for a heart transplant this past Saturday. This should have been the miracle they were all waiting for . . . alas, the new heart is not working right. There is always a 1% chance that a new heart will be defective and Gracie got the heart that was 1%. Unfortunately they didn't know this until they had already removed Gracie's heart and put in the new one. She is now waiting for another heart. Could you please put your hands together and pray for this wonderfully brave little girl and her family? They need a miracle and we all know who the giver of great miracles is. Please pray for Gracie. Thanks so much. Let's put a smile back on her face.

    Oh, my goodness...that seems like too much for a small, sweet baby to have to go through. How beautiful Gracie is...look at her face. Prayers and loving thoughts flying to her and her family. Please let us know what happens, Marie. ((HUGS))

    As a mom who put her child on an operating table at 6 mos-heart related, though not as serious as a transplant-I will be praying doubly hard for this beautiful baby girl.

    Oh marie
    what a dolly!! I am sending prayers up for her and her mommy and daddy especially. She brings back memories of little patients that I have had in my care over the years.
    God is in charge and I know he hears all of our prayers for one of his frailiest.
