Requesting prayers for my nephew Kasey.
Kasey is a twin. He was born with half a heart and spent his first four years with blue fingers and toes. Kasey was given a new birth when he recieved a new heart just before his 5th birthday. Yesterday he went for his regular 6 month check up and tests showed signs of rejection. His behavior or his current health condition showed no indication that there was a problem. So this has taken us by surprise.
Last night his condition worsened rapidly. One chamber of his new heart has stopped functioning. As I type this request he is in surgury. They are going to put him on life support and let his heart rest for three days. In the meantime, he has been put back on the list for another new donor heart.
God Bless little Kasey. I will pray for him.
I’m very sorry. May God surround the family and loved ones with comfort and peace.

Prayers for Kasey.
Diva, I am praying for your family. My sister gave birth to a beautiful little boy, Brandon, many years back who was also born with hyperplastic left-heart syndrome (half a heart), and he lived eight (8) days after we brought him home to Grandma’s house to die. Back then, transplants for this condition were 20,000 to 1 odds, and there was nothing San Francisco Children’s Hospital pediatric cardiac team could do. He fought until his very last breath. It’s hard to believe a child with this condition could live five years! Wow! What a gift...
Am praying for God’s provision of a new heart, and strength for the family that will lose their child so that Kasey can live. God bless you..
