Sad News about Alexandra
I am sitting in my garage at my welding table typing an update that I never wanted to type.
This morning around 4am, Alexandra Courville passed away during surgery.
Her transplanted heart had been damaged by rejection so badly that her only option was an artificial heart that would help her to get strong enough for another transplant.
The surgery started at 3pm yesterday. A little after midnight, the artificial heart was in place; however, the surgeons could not control the bleeding.
Just before 4am, Alex passed away from the complications.
Obviously, everyone here is crushed. I am just glad that we were able to help Alex and her family in some small way, and we will continue to gather around the family during this time.
She was a great person. Strong and mature beyond her years.
Now she's in a better place and has a perfect heart.
If you are in NW Ohio, we are having a memorial vigil tonight in our neighborhood park. Click here for information.
