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: XavierG.

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!!!

Our daughter, Madalyn, was born with tricuspid atresia. She had her first surgery at two weeks old, her second at five months, and now we are preparing for her Fontan. She was born May 6, 2002, so will be 3 this May. She is having a heart catheterization on Monday, March 21 and her Fontan is scheduled for June. We would ask for prayers that Madalyn's cath and surgery be successful, that her discomfort or pain be managed easily, and for strength for her dad and me.

Madalyn also has a carepage you can visit. Her carepage name is MaddyJayne.

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. and to all of the others on this wonderful website.....

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.
