Thankful 3

 I am thankful for a donor family, one who saw hope in the midst of their own tragedy and sorrow.

I am thankful for medical doctors who worked to save a life when common sense seemed to say there was no hope.

I am thankful for a heart surgeon who was willing to take a case with a less than perfect size match and perform with confidence a life-saving surgery.

I am thankful for the team of doctors, nurses, therapists,  and many others who worked, thought, and prayed for a miracle.

I am thankful for God, that he worked through amazing people to give us our little girl, for however long in this life.

I am thankful for Eliana, her smiles, cuddles, and excitement about life.
