Now, all Macey and her family could do was to wait for the phone call.

Patricia said that Macey “had high pressures in her lungs and they need to be low enough to receive a transplant. If [a heart] didn’t come soon, she would have to have a heart and lung transplant. There was a great urgency when the call came.”
