She is scheduled for surgery at 5 p.m. at Strong Memorial Hospital, according to Kurt Fisher.
Carrie Fisher has been at Strong since August on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine. Fisher developed cardiomyopathy during her second pregnancy with her son, Trevor, whom she delivered on July 11. Her heart was weakened and could no longer sustain her.
The whole family and the community have pulled together to help Carrie, Andrew, and their children get through the difficult time.
"We would like to let everybody know (that the transplant is taking place) who have helped us out," Kurt Fisher said. "Thank you."
