At 10 months old Jhett received a lifesaving heart transplant. Just 5 years later he is once again in
need of a 2nd heart transplant. He has developed transplant coronary artery disease. Please pray for his health and well being as we journey down this road, again. We are confident in our Lord and Savior that He will once again heal Jhett. Thank you
in advance for your prayers and continued support.
Jhett was only 10 months old when he received a heart transplant. He was born with a rare heart defect (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular noncompaction). Routine appointments were made to check the progress of Jhett's heart, along with several trips to Houston for the next five years. Everything seemed to be going great until September 2012 when doctors at Texas Children's Hospital noticed that Jhett's heart rate was alarmingly rapid. The check up turned into an overnight stay which led to two weeks in the hospital. Doctors discovered that he had transplant coronary disease and the only cure was another transplant. Jhett had just started Kindergarten, in Oklahoma, so the thought of uprooting him again was somewhat disappointing. Today at age 8 and after three years of being re-listed for another heart, Jhett continues to wait in Houston. He is doing remarkably well considering that he is in heart failure. However, he is missing school, church, family and friends. The road ahead isn't easy but it is possible with continued prayers. Please make your decision to donate life and tell your family.
