I would very much like to announce that Beckham is currently in surgery where he is going to get his new heart! Wow, today has been a wonderful whirlwind and we now have a heart for our little boy. After only 10 days on the organ waiting list we found out early (4am) this morning that there was a potential heart for Beck; he is now in surgery getting prepped and the heart is in transit.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers to this point, though we know that transplantation is only the end of one battle and the beginning of another. With that state of mind we ask for your prayers to continue...we know that Beckham will continue to be a strong little fighter.
A more detailed update on how everything goes will come either tonight or tomorrow.
Love,
Nate, Kim, Gwen, and soon to be 'refurbished' Beck

As word went through the Service Center today there were audible cheers for little Beckham. Smiles and prayers along with a healthy number of tears are flowing your way. We are so happy that you have this wonderful gift. We know that this is another challenge that will have to be faced. Our prayers also go out to the family of the little one who was lost in another battle for mortality. What a gift to your little son. "Tender Mercies" can sometimes be overwhelming.

I am Liz Durrant's mother and she just told me today about the needs of your precious little one. My thoughts were so tender of I thought of your little family. I just barely logged on to send my love and prayers. I was so overcome when I read that Beckham has an opportunity now to this heart surgery. I will include you in all my prayers. May you be comforted and have the energy you need.
