Happy 2010

Posted on by

It’s been a long year. We’ve had reasons for celebration and reasons for tears but amidst it all we’ve come a long way. Zoe had her 1 year biposy on December 20th. They went in through the neck, as usual, as well as through her groin. The recovery took a little longer. She had to keep the leg they went through straight & flat for 6 hours post-procedure. Her cardiac output is good, all her pressure are good and the results were double 0’s. Those are perfect results if you’re curious.

Zoe goes back to see Dr. Boyle in February and she has a biopsy in April.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday.

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.

    Our family is so grateful for the way God saw fit to provide a heart for Zoe, exactly when she needed it. We have shared your joys and sorrows this past year, although from very far away; Santiago, Chile. Please continue to keep us all informed because we are always interested and love Zoe. She is truly a miracle child. Please tell Zoe hi from Mackenzie and her mom.
