Two weeks ago, beautiful 6 month baby Tiana choked on a plastic bag while napping, & was without oxygen for 45 minutes. She was rushed to a hospital in Beijing, China where they were able to restart her heart, but she has been on life support & unresponsive since then. Family, friends, & strangers from around the world have been rallying around this little princess, praying for healing, and for a miracle.
After weeks of tests, the latest update is that Tiana is brain dead. They have decided to donate her organs, so now the prayer is that her body would hold out long enough for them to find recipients. Let this now be your fervent prayer.
Luke, his wife Daviana (pictured), and their two children Gideon (3) & Teo (2), have been living in Beijing, China for the last few years. Davi is a stay at home mom, & Luke is a teacher.
Knowing what they are going through, they need our love and support. They will also need support for medical bills. Also, considering Luke is from the US & Davi is from Argentina, the cost of travel is considerable.
LET'S SHOW LOVE WITH OUR ACTIONS, AS WELL AS WITH OUR WORDS.
In honor of Tiana!
UPDATES:
"Tiana went to be with Jesus tonight. I am so thankful for the
doctors and medical staff here in China who have been incredible.
Tonight, Tiana was able to give her liver to a 6 month old, and will
be able to give her kidneys to a 16 year old, and her corneas will be
given to two others. Also, I'm so thankful for the pastors and members
of BICF and friends from SMIC who have walked through this with us.
Pastor Jon and Cindy along with Michelle who was our translator stayed
with us today for almost 12 hours and the pastors, staff, and friends
of the church have been with us the whole way. Today was her 7 month
birthday. What a gift to be able to give to others. I'm not sugar
coating it, this sucks and is ridiculously brutal and by far the
hardest thing we have ever been through, but I still can't believe how
good God is. He has shown his hand through all this and he will
continue to as we grieve the loss of our little girl. She looked
amazing tonight, we said good bye and the doctors had her looking like
an angel. I said before, our hope needs to be found in Christ only.
It's so cool how he has given us hope that Tiana could help 4 other
kids and we have the hope and knowledge that we will see her again. We
even got to hold her one last time, it was awesome. Thanks for your
prayers, keep praying for the kids in surgery right now. Tiana was the
first international organ donor in China and is getting the chance to
help two little boys tonight in Tianjin. Pray that their bodies except
her parts and can recover. Ok, that what's on my mind. Going to bed now"

"Today, April 26th, at 10:16PM we said goodbye to our
little princess Tiana. She's with Jesus now and I can't wait to see
her again! Thank you everyone for your prayers. We've felt very
supported during the whole time. Tiana was taken out of the respirator
and the doctors expected her heart to stop within the next 3 minutes
but it went for 6 minutes! Tiana's organs are helping four people.
Right now, a 6 month old boy is receiving her liver. In a couple of
hours, a 16 year old boy will receive her kidneys. He's an older boy
but, because of his kidneys failing, he only weights 30 kg. Tiana's
kidneys will help him grow and gain weight and the kidneys will
eventually grow too. The corneas are being transported to the best eye
doctor in China to look for recipients. They last a month. They will
be given to two different people who are currently blind so they'll be
able to see. I feel like I'm hurting for the loss of Tiana and I'm
rejoicing for the blessings God is giving us. I prayed to the last
minute for God to bring her back but now I know that God's plans were
to take her to heaven and I'm OK with that. I trust in Him. Thanks again!"
