The organization that handles all heart valve transplantation, LifeNet sent an update regarding Stephen's heart valves. His two pulmonary and aortic valves have been sent to medical facilities but they do not know if they have been transplanted yet. His aortic valves were sent to a hospital in Georgia in February of 2010. His pulmonary valves were sent to a hospital in Virginia in February 2010 also.
Stephen would be thrilled to know that his heart valves went to Georgia where he spent so many years. They possibly could have benefited someone that he shared the soccer fields or basketball court with over the years.
