    Newest update: "her husband told me the Dr. is still optimistic that the heart just needs more time to recover. They may try again next Tuesday. In the mean time, she will be able to recover more from the surgery and pray that she stays free of infection."

    " PRAYER WARRIORS! This is a post from her mom.

    For our prayer warriors who have never met my daughter (our Baptist Board sister) :
    She is 30 years old. She was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy on Thanksgiving 2009. In 2010 she had a diffib/pacemaker surgery. Last July she had surgery to place the LVAD. On Oct 5th 2011 she was admitted to Emory with complications concerning the right side of her heart. She has been in the hospital since then and received the call of a heart match on Dec.27th.
    She has remained faithful to our heavenly Father throughout this journey. We have been blessed by the prayers of all whom have petitioned the Father on our behalf.
    Praying that everyone will one day meet her and hear her testimony through His Word and music. I am blessed to be the mama of such a talented woman. "

    Update Post from her mom:

    She is in surgery to release leg/ skin pressure and evaluate hand /skin. Heart is doing good, same as yesterday. Concerns are: too much swelling will constrict vessels in legs. For sterile conditions decision was made not to do this bedside. Will update when procedure is finished and she is back in her room. Praising and petitioning God for His healing touch.

    update from her husband:
    Her new heart continues to strengthen, but slowly. Please pray that we avoid complications until we can get her off the pumps and ventilator.
