While there's life, there is hope.

It makes me wonder if maybe they shouldn't have pushed it with the heart part replacement, even though her heart was damaged somewhat from her two heart attacks she had. Not sure to what extent of how much her heart was damaged though. If they didn't go that route, would she still be alive today, or could it have shortened her life even less. Just things to think about. I know she didn't have any problems with her new liver, so her liver came through to the end with her until her body started rejecting her new heart.
