She is now 5!

Wow….time has flown by. This is Rilynn’s Nana, Heidi. I’m the one who makes these amazing candles that goes to support not only Rilynn, but other families with children who need a life-saving organ transplant. I love what I do and I love being a part of COTA, Children’s Organ Transplant Association.

Rilynn was able to go to Disney for her Make A Wish trip in August of 2021.

Rilynn is doing amazing. We are finally watching her be able to live a normal life. On January 5th, 2022 she had hip surgery for her hip dysplasia and was in a brace for 10 weeks! Having to keep a five year old occupied and not being able to walk certainly was challenging. As usual, she was a champ and learned to move and get around on the floor scooting. Rilynn started Pre-kindergarten this year! She is very smart and very active and nothing holds her back. She has had her new kidney for 1.5 years now and has had no issues AND she continues to be cancer-free! She is one little miracle girl and we give all the praise to the Lord.
