Dodged a bullett….for now.

So I took Zoe to Dr. Danzinger from I.D. yesterday. Her liver enzymes are high, platelet count is low, white count is high. She took blood & ran more tests. Had Zoe’s liver enzymes or platelet count been dramatically worse she’s would have been admitted for a few days (like I haven’t heard that before) to be on IV antibiotics. The white count looked better & so did her platelet count. Liver enzymes were higher but not enough to warrant keeping her right now. Dr. Danzinger put her back on Valcyte & we go back Tuesday to have all the tests repeated. However, they are also running another virus count. It should be back tomorrow. If it’s really high we will be heading to the hospital. Dr. said for the weekend but i don’t buy that for a second. The last time I heard that mess our weekend turned into 3 weeks.

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.
