Ben's New Heart!!!

Ben got his new heart last night around 10 pm. All went well and the doctors were very pleased with the procedure. He was back in his room with a new heart around 1:30 am this morning. I have not heard anything since then but I will let you all know as the days go on how things are going. Pray that his body accepts the heart well and that he will be able to recover speedily so that we can all enjoy the Ben that we love again outside the hospital walls.

Praise the LORD...He is Good! We come to Him asking for miracles and He shows them to us in the lives' of the Newell Family. Ben, you are awesome! I pray for that heart to become apart of you and for you to be well enough to come home soon! Our continued prayers are with the donor's family, Meaghan and Ethel, Logan and Emma, and those around them who haved reached out to help... Thank you LORD!!!
