đź’” 10% chance of survival.
It’s a number no parent should ever have to hear. A mind-numbing probability that has left one family in San Antonio holding onto hope with trembling hands and tear-filled eyes. They are calling on every prayer warrior, every believer, every soul who understands the power of faith to lift their voices and cry out the name of their 4-year-old daughter — Khaleesi — with unwavering, powerful words of prayer.
Right now, as you read this, Khaleesi is lying on an operating table, surrounded by machines, monitors, and some of the most skilled surgeons in the world. She is undergoing the most critical procedure of her young life — a Fontan take-down and shunt placement, a risky and desperate final attempt to save her heart. Her life hangs in the balance.
She is connected to ECMO life support, a machine that acts as both her heart and lungs, keeping her alive while her tiny body fights with every ounce of strength it has. Her skin is pale, her heartbeat fragile, yet her spirit — that beautiful spirit — still refuses to give up.
Doctors have told her parents the reality: the odds of survival are just 10%.
But this family isn’t surrendering. They are choosing to believe in the 10% chance — not the 90% risk. They are believing in a miracle. 🙏
Who is Khaleesi?
Khaleesi is not just a patient. She is a fighter.
She was born with not one — but three rare congenital heart conditions. From the moment she took her first breath, she has been in and out of hospitals, surrounded by IV drips, oxygen tubes, monitors, and the quiet beeps of machines that keep her alive.
Most children her age are running through playgrounds and learning their ABCs. Khaleesi has been learning a different world — one filled with nurses, surgeries, and medical terms far too big for someone so small. She has spent birthdays in hospital rooms, celebrated holidays with nurses by her side, and watched other kids go home while she remained fighting.
Yet despite everything, she smiles. She dreams. She believes in tomorrow.
And do you know what she wants to be when she grows up?
A doctor.
Not for fame. Not for money. But because she wants to “help other sick kids like me get better.”
Her heart may be fragile, but her soul is made of courage.
A Family Holding on to Faith
Her parents have spent countless nights by her bedside, whispering prayers, singing lullabies, and watching monitors instead of the stars. They have learned how to read oxygen numbers, how to silencing alarms, how to live between hope and heartbreak.
They’ve been told “she may not make it” before.
They’ve seen her come close to death and still rise.
But this time, the doctors have said it clearly — this surgery is the last attempt.
10% chance of survival.
Yet her parents are choosing faith.
They are choosing to believe that this 10% is more than a statistic.
It is a window for God to move.
It is enough for a miracle.
What She’s Facing Today
The Fontan procedure is one of the final surgeries for children with single-ventricle heart defects. But Khaleesi’s heart isn’t responding the way it should. So now, doctors are attempting something rarely done — a Fontan take-down. They are undoing the procedure in hopes of relieving the pressure on her heart and placing a shunt to help blood flow more effectively.
It is dangerous.
It is complex.
It is her last chance.
Her heart beats weakly with the help of machines. ECMO keeps her alive. Medication keeps her blood flowing. Surgeons work tirelessly. Nurses hold her tiny hand. And everywhere, people are praying.
Your Prayers Matter
This family believes in prayer — and they are asking you to stand with them. Whether you whisper her name softly in your heart or cry it out loud with tears streaming down your face, they believe every prayer reaches Heaven.
đź©· Please pray for Khaleesi.
Pray that her heart beats stronger.
Pray that her lungs breathe on their own again.
Pray that her parents feel peace as they wait in the hospital corridor.
Pray that this miracle child gets to blow out the candles on her 5th birthday — December 1st.
Pray that she grows up, becomes a doctor, and tells her story to the world.
Why We Share This
Because no child should fight alone.
Because no parent should sit in silence with this kind of pain.
Because hope is real — and when people come together in faith, mountains move.
Khaleesi’s life is in God’s hands, but her name can be in your prayers.
So please, wherever you are reading this from — pause for a moment.
Whisper her name.
“Lord, please heal Khaleesi.”
🙏
đź©· Pray for her to see her 5th birthday. Pray for a miracle.
