We received the call this morning at 5:00am that a heart became available for Alicia. It is now 12:00noon the heart has arrived and the operation has began. We ask that out of the Goodnes of your heart you say a little prayer for Alicia. Please pray that the operation will go as planned and that her little body accepts this new heart. Just a quick FYI, the heart is the same blood type as Alicias own heart :) I will write a quick update this evening from home. The operation is estimated to last till 8pm.
Mirek and Kasia

Thank you God!
All the best for Alicia and you guys... Lot's of strenght and patience.

CONGRADULATIONS! I'm so happy that little Alicia has finally got a heart. We will keep you in our prayers as the operation will be long and very stressfull. Our prayers also go out to the child who has lost his/her life and the family for their grief. I know that little Alicia is a fighter and will do great after the operation. It may be a long recovery but it will be worth every moment. Kathy and Mirek stay strong the struggle is almost over! With lots of Love
