Late update from Carrie

Carrie sent me a text with an update about their PICU neighbor. She stopped by the PICU as she was leaving the hospital and discoverd the baby girl is in surgery and currently waiting on the heart to arrive that she so desperately needs! Another miracle! She and Heath are only 4 days apart in age and the Tuttles have spent much time with her family in the waiting room. Carrie said that Duke will have done 3 pediatric heart transplants in 4 weeks when her surgery is complete!

Carrie asked again for folks to please pray for this family and baby girl receiving the heart as well as the donor family. As Carrie said, "we have come oh so close to imagining the grief that they are experiencing right now."

Carrie is waiting for Ella Brooks to come home with Uncle Jamie from her wonderful New Year's visit at Ama and Grandp Strow's house. She had a fabulous New Year's visit (and sleepover) with her cousins and family. She is doing remarkably well.

Carrie closed with this comment: "We are unbelievably grateful for our familes and friends who have made this journey with us. And, we are grateful for the prayers and support from people all over the country, and even the world. New Year's blessings to you all. Love, Carrie"

Blessings, "Gran" Sarah
