I received my heart transplant in 1991. In 1989 I had a
massive heart attack even though I had no risk factors.
My condition continued to deteriorate until my transplant
on Easter Sunday 1991.
I
am thankful for the miracle of my NewHeart. I wrote a book
about my story - "Mr. NewHeart" which is available
at my website.

Thank
you for allowing this sharing and for praising our Creator.
I was treated for CHD in 1962 and 1967 in the early days
and am now 45. Please feel free to email me with questions
about how it feels to be the child who lives through these
surgeries. I can tell you how safe it feels to look up and
see your family. The pain memory, even though you remember
having it, does go away; the safety of knowing you were
cared for and listened to stays with you.

David,
This is a wonderful site that you have created. It means
so much to me that Xavier and our family was able to be
a part of it. The support and encouragement that we received
from people saying they heard about Xavier on 2hearts was
amazing. I don't know what we would have done with out all
of the prayers and support. I am grateful for you and your
ministry. You have a special place in my heart. I continue
to pray for you.
With Love,
Cindy,
Mommy to my angel, Xavier. carepage:

I
had a heart transplant at Vanderbilt Medical Center June 15,
1999 (my 43rd birthday). God has blessed me beyond measure!
I was on the transplant list only 3 weeks. On June 5, 1999
I was admitted to the University of Tennessee Medical Center
in Knoxville. June 8, 1999 I went into cardiac arrest. A blood
implant was put in place and I was flown by medjet to Vanderbilt.
On June 11, 1999 a left ventrical assistant device (LVAD)
was put in place and on June 14, 1999 in the late afternoon
we received word a heart was becoming available. On June 15,
1999 at 2:30 a.m. I received my new heart. My donor was a
29 year old female with a blood clot to the brain. I have
had seven wonderful and blessed years. I am an active member
in my church in Knoxville and I love the Lord!

JERRA
& HELEN HALL CARD CAMPAIGN
I am organizing a card campaign for the Helen & Jerra
Hall (my mother and my niece) families. Jim & Ida, Stevie,
Jerra and Helen & Dick all our need support.
Helen
Hall is Jerra Hall's Grandmother. Helen Hall has emphysema
and endocarditis (an infection around her heart) and was
just released from the hospital in Alma Michigan. Jerra
Hall is 2 years old and has had 3 open-heart surgeries (@
U of M in Ann Arbor Michigan) within 48 hours and is currently
on ECMO (life support). If you would like daily updates
on "the miracle baby" Jerra you can visit her
carepage at
www.carepages.com
sign
in under (Member name): camrhall
password: family
Then
click on Jerra Hall
Yes,
that means that Jim (my brother) has his 2 year old daughter
on life support in one hospital and his mother has been
in another hospital hours away. Due to Helen's (mom's) condition
she does not know that Jerra is on life support, she has
been told that Jerra is stable.
I
would like to help cheer them, give them spiritual support
and encouragement and even help with lifting Jim and Ida's
burdens. Ida and mom are such loving and giving ladies I
would like to give to them. It's hard to do that from Texas
so I came up with this.
My
intent for the card campaign is for Jerra's family to receive
"Get Well" cards as well as gift cards to St.
Louis IGA, Wal-Mart or Kmart. This is where Ida shops the
most. "Get Well" and gift cards..it's a card campaign
all around!!
The
"Get Well" cards are to cheer, give spiritual
support and give encouragement. The gift cards are to help
with meal preparation and lift burdens. If they have had
a particularly bad day .they may need to go to the IGA deli
and order a meal.
You
may also choose to send a gift card for a gas station or
a Prepaid phone card. Jim and Ida spend many miles going
back and forth to the hospital.
If
you can help with this campaign, please send your cards
and gift cards to:
The
Hall Family (Helen Hall)
150 Fox Drive
St. Louis, Michigan 48880
OR
The
Halls c/o Ronald McDonald House
1600 Washington Heights
Ann Arbor, MI 48104
Jim
and Ida will get the cards if they are sent to Helen but
if you want them to go directly to them use the Ronald McDonald
House address.
This
card campaign will run from July 18th until they tell us
"Stop! Please Stop."
Please
forward this message to anyone you think would like to help.
If
you have questions, you can reach me at 972-516-1159 or
hlainc@comcast.net.
Thanks
in advance for your kindness! Please note that any type
of card is fine, and if you feel you want to send a monetary
donation instead, feel free, and a card sent without a gift
inside, but is full of warm sentiments, well wishes and
prayers, is always appreciated!!!

Pastor
David McFarland,
your website has absolutely touched my heart in a big way, with
all of these heartwarming stories. and even the sad ones, that
remind us all, just how precious this life on earth is. The
stories on 2hearts, has allowed others to reach out and offer
support to each other. After receiving my heart transplant 14
years ago, all I seem to want to do, is correspond with people
all over the world. I can now, understand why you chose world
Ministry, as your lifetime endeavor. You are a wonderful soul,
and I just know that St. Peter, will welcome you, with open
arms, one day. May God Bless you and yours, my good friend.

At 4 months old (March of 2004), Jeremy was diagnosed with dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM). A routine appointment to his pediatrician
resulted in an immediate trip to the ER. When we arrived, he
was cyanotic, unresponsive ... in heart failure. Once he was
"stabilized," he was sent to two more hospitals until
finally we arrived at Texas Childrens Hospital in Houston. He
spent a month in critically stable condition. The doctors tried
everything, but he was unable to function on his own without
life support. May 8 2004 he once again went into heart failure.
Amazingly they were able to stabilize him again. At that point,
there was no other option than to place him on the heart transplant
list. Given only a week at the most for survival. The next morning
we received a call. A donor heart had been found! He underwent
a heart transplant on mothers day, May 9 2004 and his new life
began on May 10th. He is now 10 months old, 6 months post transplant.
Unfortunately,
transplant is not a cure. We've been through several illnesses
due to him being so immunosuppressed and several hospitalizations.
We still have many obstacles to face. Many things to overcome
and deal with. It is all very overwhelming. We haven't found
our "happily ever after" but we're coming to terms
with the blessings that we were given. And our hopes are that
Jeremy will be strong in what he's going to have to face as
he gets older.
We
all have our guardian angels. That beautifal little girl that
blessed my son with a heart is his guardian angel.
