A North Pole man who was delayed by bad weather on his way to Seattle for a heart transplant in December finally got a new heart over the weekend.
Patrick Holland and his wife Haley Holland with their four children, Samuel, 4, Lily, 12, Laura, 15, and Michaela, 17. for a heart transplant in December finally got a new heart over the weekend.
The Hollands were married in 2006. They have four children together, all of whom were able to fly down on Friday, while Patrick was in the operating room. Many Alaskans heard Holland’s story last winter. The medical center told him Dec. 22 that a heart that was a perfect match was waiting for him in Seattle. He and his brother boarded a plane out of Fairbanks early the next morning, but it was diverted from Seattle by a terrible ice storm, and the plane turned around and landed in Anchorage. Holland had to let that heart go to another person on the transplant list. That week, he said, he decided to move to Seattle.
