* UPDATE*
Sunday, morning...Little brother is staying with friends...but celebrating his big sister's courage and her NEW heart!
Around 1:30pm, Sunday
After the heart was transplanted there was residual blood loss and some new blood clots. The team of doctors had to re-open her chest and find the problems.
Sunday, 3:55pm
About an hour ago, they completed the repair. Katie has come through surgery! Prayers answered! I've been a nervous wreck because she was so critical and we didn't hear any update for two hours. Dr. Kogan came and talked to us.
He got the clot and cleaned out some lines. Her vitals are much better and her blood drainage has improved.
We can see her in a few minutes, hopefully. Thank you for the prayers! Keep them coming! --Kerri
The transport team has flown out to pick up the donor's graciously-given heart.
Thanks for keeping she and her family in your prayers.

My sweet great niece is in surgery now; the doctors will be removing her sick heart soon. The transport team has flown out to pick up the donor's graciously-given heart.
Thanks for keeping she and her family in your prayers.
