We are here and have talked to the transplant doctor and our surgeon and it looks like they won't take her back into surgery until about 5:00 a.m. So we're looking forward to a long restfull night, yeah right!!! I am still freaking out!!! We are nervous and excited and scared and happy. Please continue to pray for our sweet GG!

I am just BAWLING!!! What a MIRACLE!!! I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight and I'm just a stranger! I will pray for her!
Sweet Dreams Gledhill Family! Gabe and Ben were so excited when they heard about Gracie, we all are. You and the doner family will be in our prayers tonight. Loves to Gracie.
WE will certainly pray for your sweet and beautiful Gracie. We are also members of IHH. Our little Preslie is 5 1/2 months old. She has Down Syndrome and ASD. We hope you find comfort this night and have confirmation that our Heavenly Father is there and loves you all so much. Our prayers will continue to be with you!
We are soooo happy for the amazing news! I can't believe it happened so fast...what a blessing!!!! We will continue to pray for you all.
I've been a follower of Gracie's blog from the beginning....how fantastic! I am so happy for her and for your family. I opened up your blog and let out a little scream of excitement when I read the good news. You are in my prayers! Come on, Gracie!!!
Isn't amazing how you can feel all those emotions at once. I am so glad that Gracie gets this chance at life. It is her new begining and she will now get that chance to be a healthy little girl. I guess that is why they call it the "Second Chance Club". You will be amazed at what a healthy heart will do for her and how quickly you will notice a change. The first thing that I noticed with Kaidence is that her skin was PINK again!!! Good luck getting some sleep (in your lovely parent room). I think I layed awake all night and stared at the ceiling.
Oh my gosh! I'm in shock right now. Since I won't be sleeping I'll be praying instead! Another miracle for Gracie tonight!!!
Love you!

Since I always dream about what I see/read before bed, I will be dreaming about Gracie tonight! We will be praying hard that everything goes well!!

There will be many losing sleep right along with you! There are no words...
Thank you so much for calling!! I have been able to think of nothing else but Gracie and her new heart. I am so nervous and excited for you all, I'm quite sure I won't be sleeping much! Thanks for updating. We are praying...love you!
Alysia (Grace's Mom) alerted us that Gracie will be getting her new heart! We are so excited for you. Our little Grace has been a different baby since her new heart last August. No more blue fingers and toes, no more frowns. Our prayers are with you. You will have one anxious day tomorrow, but those doctors and nurses are angels. They will give you hourly updates and they will work another miracle, I am sure. All the best to all of you!

We are so excited over here!!! It will be hard to sleep tonight or function at all tomorrow! My heart is full of love for sweet Gracie and for the amazing and selfless donor family. What a blessing!!! This is a good day! P.S. Alan has been instructed to get me out of the bath the next time there is an important phone call!
Oh wow - I am so glad your wait wasn't very long! We are praying for Gracie, your family and the family who is giving you this very special gift.
We have been reading back a little bit on your blog and it sounds like we were in the hospital at the same time you were when she was born. Carter was born March 31 and was released May 29 from the hospital - but we weren't in PICU so we probably didn't ever see you. Carter has down syndrome, ASD, VSD, and PDA.
We pray all goes well tonight - good luck - Gracie is strong! May Heavenly Father give you comfort and peace.

Wow! What an amazing miracle and gift. We'll be praying for all of you tonight. Try and get some sleep. Gracie is such a fighter... I'm continually amazed at her strength and yours right along with it. Our thoughts are with you tonight.

Yahoo!! We have been praying for Gracie and what great news! I was about to go to bed but thought I should check the blog just one more time. I'm so glad that I did. Our prayers are with you--not only for Gracie but that you somehow will get some sleep tonight.
Love,
The Moline's
We're praying for you.
I have to tell you that when Tom said that you had just received a call from the hospital I thought he was pulling our leg for a minuet. That was so fast! What an enormous blessing! I am so happy for you guys! Good luck with everything and know that we will be fasting and praying for Gracie.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm so thrilled for sweet Gracie! She deserves this so much...even though she was just listed, she's had quite the fight for her 11 months. God bless you all! We'll be praying!!!
Love & hugs,
The Allreds (Katie & Maddie)
Sleep?!? Are you kidding? With this great news there will be no sleeping tonight. Mom and I just got off the phone talking about this whole miracle for an hour. We love you!
I have quietly followed your story for quite some time. My son also has HLHS. I had to speak up this time & say CONGRATS!!! So nice to read of good news about Gracie!
Good for you all!!!
I can't believe it!!!!! I am soooo thrilled for you!!! If she wasn't a miracle enough, we are witnessing another one!!! We will be praying so hard for her tomorrow! Congratulations!

The heart of the little Saviour who is giving Gracie new life will bring back Gracie's smiles and your peace of mind.
Glory to God!

I just starting reading all of the HLHS blogs. I am 23 weeks and our baby girl is diagnosed with this heart defect. I have read your blog 3 or 4 times now and was thrilled to see this great morning news! Your family will be in our prayers! God is good and will take care of that beautiful little Gracie...
many blessings-

Wonderful wonderful news, I am so so so thrilled for you!!! I just know all will go well!
We are good friends of Kaidence and have been praying with you from the beginning. This morning I cried at the news. Our prayers will be with you, Gracie, and the sweet family that made this possible. What a wonderful example of faith, courage and love you are to all of us.
What incredible news! I can't believe how fast it happened. I am so happy for you and sweet little Gracie. We will continue to pray for Gracie and also for the donor family.
