Please keep Daniel and his family in your prayers today. I am not sure the details but I do know that his room has been very busy tonight. His mommy and daddy were here a few minutes ago and are visibly upset. I don't know the details right now but will try and get an update from Heather tomorrow.
**I was just told that they are going to be putting Daniel on ECMO. Please pray that this provides the rest that his body needs to recoup.
***3 am update~ they are NOT putting Daniel on ECMO. He did code but he is now stable. He is, however, rejecting his heart. Heather said that they are going to wipe out his immune system (T CELLS) and that his body could stop rejecting. Please pray for health and wisdom for his parents as they fear making him sick.
Rejection is a natural process for these kiddo's, the hope is that is only minor. In some cases it is more severe. There are 5 kids in the ICU right now that are post transplant (since January 1st) and 3 more that I know of that are on the floor and at home (from Nov and Dec). We all share a common bond and the same fears. Daniel's rejection has had an effect on several of us. Please keep all of these families and babes in your prayers.

Leah, I just read the news on Daniel's rough night...I'm praying for him and Heather! Rejection seems like such a scary thing to deal with, hopefully this treatment on his t-cells will work. Happy to hear that Joshua is doing well and gets some breaks from those fun "masks". Have a great day today-
Love,
Katie & Maddie
