Lincoln Got A Heart!
We are so excited to share that we got a call at 8:30 this morning that there was a heart offer for Lincoln. Unlike the previous offers...this one is perfect for Lincoln. We don't know much about the donor nor can we get into the details...all we know is that it is a great match! Our hearts are filled with joy and excitement for Lincoln yet our hearts break for the family who lost their child to make this possible. Lincoln is scheduled to go into the OR around 8:30 PM. The surgery will last most of the night and into the morning. We are very very nervous! Please be praying for the surgery and that God orchestrates the whole event beautifully tonight as He has been doing from the start. Also be in prayer for the donor family! We will let you know how things go as soon as things settle down tomorrow! Thank you all so much for everything....We love you all and will talk to you soon. Pray! Pray! Pray! J&K Here are a some pictures that we were going to post today before we found out...enjoy!

This is so amazing. Tears well up as I think about it. You must be feeling so many emotions!!! I was soooo excited as I read the e-mail. God is so good. We will pray for a peace as you and the rest of the family wait the many hours to see him. We know that he is in God's hands. Know that we will be praying for you through out the night.

This is exciting - know we will pray for you!!!!!! God is so good and the blessing is knowing he is in control.
Lincoln got a heart wooohOOO!! My little Silas (3) explained to me the other day how a transplant works. "They take the new heart and put it in his tummy" It is that simple to God. The boys will be very excited about this news and you will be in our prayers.
the day you have been waiting for! Good luck to you guys tonight!
Praise God who answers prayer and provides for His people! Josh and Kristen, we are rejoicing with you. My students have been praying for Lincoln and will be so excited to hear. We will continue to pray for the doctors and the little man. Praise the Lord.

We are sooooo excited for you guys. I have been calling everyone to let them know to pray for Lincoln. Tears of joy stream down my face as I write. God is so good. I pray that He guides the hands of the doctors and gives them wisdom and strength during this long surgery. I pray He gives you guys peace and rest during, what I'm sure will be, a sleepless night. We love you guys!

We are praying for Lincoln and that his surgery and recovery will go off without a hitch. He is soooooo adorable! Jessica and I have been to your site several times and are praying for you all. Of course we are praying for the donor family and their gift of life during their darkest hour.
Hi Guys,
Just checking in again. Can't sleep! By now Lincoln's new heart should be in his little chest. What a blessing. I know there is still a long time yet in surgery tonight and just wanted you to know I'm still praying.
To GOD be the GLORY!
Love, Linda
Hi Linda... I can't sleep either..
just checking in, too!
Josh & Kristen, We are so excited and happy for you guys. God is so good and He continues to bless us over and over again. We are all looking forward to seeing all three of you back home in Fresno. Lincoln is so cute and is really growing into a fine young man and now with a new heart......!! You guys are such a wonderful testimony for everyone to see and I'm sure the hospital staff will have many wonderful memories of your time with them. We will continue to pray and also for the family who have provided a heart for Lincoln. God is so good. Give Lincoln a hug and a kiss as soon as possible.
Love you guys, Curtis & Vera Jean
It's time God. It's time. Let Lincoln be at peace.
I should have been more specific. At peace, I mean peace with you Lord.
God is so amazing! I have been reading about little Lincoln's progress over the past few months and every time I come to this page I lift him up to the Lord. God is so awesome! We'll continue to pray that there are no glitches with his new heart!
