A sweet celebration

Hannah Collie's fifth birthday was a miracle in more ways than one. Many times during Hannah's hospital stay she was teetering between life and death. Not only did Hannah pull through to celebrate her special day, but she also met the mom of her heart donor, who also was turning one year older.

Hannah was diagnosed at birth with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome - the entire left side didn't work. In 2007, she was placed on the heart transplant list. Just days later, Jalen Taylor, the same age as Hannah, died from shaken baby syndrome, and his mom, Shirlonda, donated his organs. Dr. Kristine Guleserian implanted Jalen's heart in Hannah's chest. Hannah recently experienced rejection along with bleeding in her intestines and lungs and spent 59 days in the hospital fighting for her life.

But Hannah couldn't have had a more perfect ending to her stay.

"It's unbelievable," said Amanda, Hannah's mom. "Hannah's here, and she's here because of Shirlonda and Jalen and God."

And Shirlonda said seeing Jalen live through Hannah and feeling his heart beat in her chest was an amazing birthday gift.
