Holly Jo’s Story

You guys won't want to miss this episode!

Our guest, Holly Jo is a wife, and a mother of 4. Holly tells us her story of her son Easten getting diagnosed with Biliary Atresia and eventually needing a transplant. She talks about what life was like while Easten was sick, and the emotional rollercoaster of being on a transplant list. Holly then talks about life after transplant.

There are so many ups and downs to her story. I am so grateful for Holly and the bravery that she shows as she raises awareness for organ donation, & talking about how it deeply impacted her family. She did an amazing job, and we hope you enjoy this episode. ❤️

Jessica’s Story

Our guest today is someone so near and dear to our hearts. Jessica is the mom of 3 beautiful children. Her oldest son, Dylan, is the little boy who received Tayzli's heart. She tells us her story today, about being given Dylan's diagnosis of Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, while she was pregnant with him. Not knowing what the future would look like with her little baby, Jessica and her husband JP held onto the hope of having their little baby for as long as possible. She told us about the surgeries and procedures they endured, being put on the transplant list, and all the unknowns of waiting for a heart while watching their little boy get sicker and sicker. Jessica also talked about learning about Tayzli and being able to meet her family and the feelings and emotions that happen with organ donation. It was such an honor to talk with Jessica and to hear her side, hear about the struggles Dylan had, and how they are doing now. Thank you Jess for being so vulnerable and sharing your story with us all. We love you!!

XOXO
