“It's very difficult,” said Dessai. “So I am very grateful to the family I agree with this. I believe they have saved some lives.”

Before Laries left the child's national hospital, they took a little time to honor their families. It is a hero's walk, a ceremony with a flag, and the purpose of the donor, its family, and the life of the team who helped to transplant it.

“Raising the flag looks very small, but it's very huge,” said Rachel Rally.

The ceremony was to honor Baby Jack's second chance, as the battle for Baby Jack took the army. The bond with the team Jack, from the nurse side -side oala to the Child Life Specialist Ranny Bark, was built through a difficult moment for several months.

“We call him the mayor,” Burke said about Baby Jack. “He is the mayor of this hospital. I think he has more visitors in his room than many other patients we are in the hospital.”

On the last day of Jack at the hospital, Bark was near him.

“We do a monthly footprint every month. It was a big thing for his mother, Rachel and me,” said Bark. Until he got his heart, he arrived every month was Mile Stone. And ultimately, the footprint of his discharge was a really wonderful and wonderful experience. ”

Many people gave their own road to their new heart.

“People overlook all of these individuals behind working without knowing their fatigue for the past 305 days, giving them tomorrow and giving them the ability to return home,” said Brandon Rally.

After spending 10 months at a pediatric national hospital, it was time for Laries to close one chapter and write a new chapter.

“I love him very much. He's a very special boy, and I'm very grateful for being a mother,” said Rachel Rally. “It feels like a blessing. It wasn't easy, and I was very sad because he wasn't easy for him, but we make it exceptional as possible. He is very love. He is special and I can't wait for everything. “
