Judy Bergen: You think about going through the whole heart transplant and then maybe later on dealing with cancer or something like that.

It's terrifying.

It's just something we've got to do.

We love her and just want her to have the best life she can possibly have Jason Bergen: I don't think we have many options at this point.

Judy Bergen: No Voice on phone: So, I'm actually calling you with a heart offer.

Elgert: Okay Voice on phone: Blood type is O positive.

So, we actually do have an organ for her-a little bit smaller child than her.

It's gonna be sometime tonight, coming out sometime tomorrow morning.

So, just wanted to give you a head's up.

We're pretty happy about it too.

I think it's actually the perfect time and it is a very good organ.

Elgert: From the time the heart is stopped till the time that it's beating again in the recipient, there's a very finite time which is, like for adults about four hours, and then for peds, they may be upwards of six or seven.

They don't like that but sometimes you have no choice.

Elgert: So the heart looks good.

Rebekya: Yeah?

Elgert: And our ETA is about 2:30 to 3:00.

Rebekya: They landed.

Rebekya: No heart yet?

Rebekya: Let's see the new heart... Okay, are the lungs on?

Nurse: They are.

Rebekya: Let's have a look here.

Let's just have a little peek, that left atrial line is a little bit fussy.

Pull it back a smidge.

Okay, that looks good.

'Kay, start hemoing.

So, heart's on its own now.

It's a good heart, it just, it came from a long ways away, so it was in the bucket there for like five and a half hours.

You know, this one, it started up like within two minutes of us taking that clamp off, and that's usually a pretty good sign.

Rebekya: Hi.

Mr.

Bergen, we've met.

I'm Dr.

Rebeyka.

How are you?

Jason Bergen: Good.

So, we're all done.

Everything went very, very well.

So, heart's working on its own now.

It's a bit early to relax completely, but things look pretty good so I think we're in good shape.

Judy Bergen: Good.

Rebekya: Okay?

Judy Bergen: Thank you.

Jason Bergen: Thank you.

Rebekya: I'll talk to you later, folks.
