Happy Turkey Day!

No changes today. They are trying to pull back on the some of the sedatives. They may have found the right combination to keep her calm. They also added an anti-itch medication to list. It seems to be working. She’s been very itchy.  Other than that she’s about the same. No news is good news where Zoe is concerned lately.

Zoe’s Heart began the day our world changed. My daughter, Zoe, received a heart transplant at just six years old. Six. In the span of childhood milestones and bedtime stories, we learned words like “transplant,” “rejection,” “ICU,” and “donor family.” We learned what it means to wait. To hope. To live in the in-between. This blog is our way of sharing the journey — the beautiful, the terrifying, the exhausting, and the miraculous. Zoe’s Heart exists for two reasons: To keep our family and friends updated as we walk this road. And to advocate fiercely for organ donation — because someone else’s yes saved my daughter’s life. This space is raw. It’s honest. It doesn’t pretend the hard parts don’t exist. But it also refuses to ignore the hope. We believe in celebrating progress, honoring the gift of life, and speaking openly about what transplant families experience behind hospital doors. Zoe is living proof that generosity changes everything. Thank you for being here. Thank you for following her journey. And if you ever find yourself wondering whether organ donation matters — it does. It saved our girl. Welcome to Zoe’s Heart.

    Hey Miss Zoe~
    I spent a very long time praying for you this morning. I’m very happy to hear God answered a bit more today and you are a bit more comfortable! I’ll continue to pray that you’ll feel better!

    Dear Zoe and Mr. and Mrs. Tanner,
    We pray for Zoe every day, but today we sent out an extra special Thanksgiving prayer for you. Jeriel said grace for us at our family dinner tonight and asked God to be with the soldiers and with Zoe. We are thankful for our school and everyone who makes it so special and that includes Zoe and her bright smile. Looking forward to seeing you there soon. Love, Joella, Cannon, and Jeriel
