TERESA IS BEING LISTED FOR A HEART TRANSPLANT !!!!!!!!!!
Words can not fully describe the joy we feel .
For Two years we wrestled with the hopelessness that the world had to offer and clung to the hope only Jesus could give .
Two years ago before we started Teresa's adoption we met with our Pastor to discuss if this was Gods Will. His advice to us was ,
"The Will of God will never lead you , where the Grace of God will not protect you ".
This morning we met again with Father Whatley to discuss Teresa's MIRACLE . He reassured us of the miracle of Teresa's life . God is using her life to touch others ...
Next week we will find out if our insurance will approve the transplant then we will start the wait . Teresa will be listed as a 1B. 1A is the most critical then 1B then 2.
A few (well actually a lot ) of other details need to be worked out also as to how we will be able to arrive at CHOP within 1-2 hours . We are 2 hours without any traffic and leaving from our home . We have also started the process to find help with the care of the girls while I am gone . Our Church is awesome with the amount of help they are offering !
Amazing God!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHis mercies are new every morning, great is His faithfulness!!!!!
He is worthy of our praise! ALWAYS!
We'll keep praying and praying as you begin this new journey...knowing God is with you every step! Not only that, He has the days ahead already planned...you can rest in that!
Blessings, hugs, and prayers from Alabama...
PRAISE JESUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have been praying with you, and this is WONDERFUL news! We are so happy for you!
We'll keep praying for all the details to work out too, and perhaps we can help in some way! We are only 30 minutes from CHOP.

After clicking on your blog twice a day for nearly a week, I am thrilled to hear your blessed announcement. I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. Faith, hope and love all rolled up into the gift that is Teresa--it's lifegiving. I will join the prayers of the masses who are going to lift this child before her Maker, Reedemer and Sustainer, pleading for Teresa's life and mission on earth through the miracle of a heart transplant. And, of course, prayers are raised for her family as you continue to take this journey with her.

YES!
ReplyDeleteFrom the moment I first read of Teresa here on your blog, I felt so strongly that her time on earth was not to be the short span predicted by the doctors. I have waited, with my breath held, many times as I opened your blog to read the unfolding story. While my mortal heart is rejoicing, my eternal heart is saying, "Of course she's listed!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a long hard road you've all traveled to reach this point! It has also not escaped me to acknowledge that for Teresa to have a heart, someone else must lose their child and I know that must weigh heavily on your own heart, too.
Most likely, you'll have to stay close to the medical center, but if you can, contact the local ambulance companies and see if they will donate an ambulance ride for you, or, better yet, contact Life Flight or a similar group. Post notices at your local big and small airports for private pilots and plane owners.
I am so very, very, very happy that Teresa will have this chance at life! Her spirit is so strong that, no matter what, it will endure.
The dust is finally settling as we wind down to our exchange student leaving tomorrow morning, so I'll apologize for not getting in here sooner. Comment #1 - HOORAH - no other word to describe the Grace of our Father - and evidence that He hears our prayer!!
ReplyDeleteAs for transportation - please contact your local police agency - I'm sure that your chief will be happy to place a 'standing order' that a marked car and driver will be dispatched at your call - that's the kind of thing we LOVE to do! You've had a great many other suggestions as well - any or all of them are very reasonable ones - get the world involved!
great joy for you guys - hugs - aus and co.
SPEECHLESS....absolutely so thrilled when I opened your blog today and saw this news. God doesn't lead us to it without bringing us through it!! AnnC in TN (doing the happy dance!!)
