Kiara McCulley, 19, and Isaac Apodaca were charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of Grace Jennings, 21. Jennings suffered multiple stab wounds.
On Jan. 26, 13-year-old Grace Jennings from San Antonio became the second person to receive a heart transplant from Dell Children s Medical Center of Central Texas.
When mom Jamie Jennings got the call that a heart had been found for Grace, she says, I felt like I can breathe. I knew we were on borrowed time.
After the surgery, when Grace was brought from the operating room to the cardiac intensive care unit, Jennings looked at her daughter and saw Grace looking healthy for the first time in her life. I ve never seen Grace peach, says Jennings. She was a beautiful peach color and wasn t swollen.
