Charles my prayers and best wishes are with you and your family. God Bless. Mary Hanke

As a fan, I generally look at you (Charles) as just a Chicago Bear, but like many of them, you're a father as well, a regular person, who just happens to play football for a living. Not as a fan, but as a fellow person, I pray for the best for your family and daughter. -John Fechter

who cares

It really shows Mr. Tillman is solid guy with a heart to care enough to let other people know how this "Berlin Heart" could make a difference in others's lives. Nice to hear about great character of a role model. Alot of people would keep issues like this private so Im glad he's he's putting this procedure on the map for others to explore.Thanks!!

Thank GOD for this miracle!!! Charles do you have any family in Fayetteville nc?? (Tillmans)

to the one who posted "who cares" that's what's wrong with our country there are those out there that don't care..you need to care. one day you will need someone..

May the purpose of Tiana's medical challegne be made known so that other's will also find healing.

Blessings and health to you and your family.

Charles, my prayers go out to you and your family and I pray God continues to show His grace and mercy on your little girl. Be blessed and stay the course.

My son had a heart transplant two days after his first birthday. Unfortunatley he passed away two days before Christmas 2008 due to cardiac arrest, not the transplant. But God is so good to continue to bless the medical field with the advancements nessacary to prolong the life of these angels here on Earth. I am so proud to hear that your daughter is doing well. God continue to bless this family!!! My sons name was Kane Alexander and I know that he is smiling down on Tiana today.

We care, Charles Tillman, even the one mislead person who shouldn't have commented. Bless your precious daughter, Tiana, and your family. May God give you strength for the ups and downs to come. Thank you for sharing your story with the public-it has made a big difference!

God bless you and your family in this time of need. I hope everything turns out well for your daughter. Our prays reach out to you and your family.

No wonder the person that said "Who cares" decided to do this anonymously. That person has no soul and I, for one, do not want to know who they are. Thanks to Charles Tillman for allowing us to know there are still good African-American fathers out there who care! Blessings to you and your family and continued health for your daughter, Tiana.

Is this some type of Christian board? Why is every other comment about God and how HE made all things possible? I understand the sentiment and that they are positive comments, but sheesh... I feel like I walked into a church service.

Wow! What a story. I had no idea. I too pray for your daughter’s speedy recovery and for blessings on your family. I also sent up a prayer for all the people on this thread that shared their stories and well wishes. I pray blessings and healing on each and every one of you. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
P.S. In a world of darkness, its refreshing to know there are still people WHO CARE.

May hope and faith in GOD lead your heart.

God blessings to you and your family, for those of you who have no faith, look at where you stand in your life. Until you accept the lord and know that through him all things are possible, you will not be happy.

Hi Charles, after reading about your daughter I just want to say that thank God for the skill, and hands that he gave those doctors involved with your daughter's life. God will always be there for each and every one of us, especially your daughter. I will pray and continue to pray and give thanks to God for the love he has shown and distributed to you for your daughter so that you can love. I will pray also for you and your family, asking for protection, good health, love and understanding to each other. God is great and his will is everlasting. Your faith is the key to your continued blessings. Remember God is our root to our strength and our lives and he knows all. All we have to do is have just a mustard seed of faith and our deliverence of our blessings will be overflowing and for you and your family, MAY EVERYDAY OF YOUR LIVES BE BLESSED.

Thank you for sharing,you could have wanted to remain private but who knows who this could help? I have been told I need a heart transplant at 58 and I really don't want to ,because of horrible treatment after a valve surgery in Dallas and Houston TX. Iknow things will be better and better for your child because so many people are praying and wishing the best for her total recovery.

My daughter also suffers from dilated cardiomyopathy and the fear and pain it causes families is outstanding. She was diagnosed at 5 months and luckily with medication is still here at 11. I think it is wonderful of you to use your fame in such a positive way to help other children just like Tiana. It is a rare thing for NFL players to be highlighted doing the good and not the bad. Thank you Charles for advocating on behalf of all cardiomyopathy families.

I pray everyday that both my boys stay healthy and will never need to be admitted to the hospital for something as serious as a heart condition. As a father, I completely sympathize for Tillman and his family and totally respect and support him 100% by spreading awareness of the Berlin Heart. I hope it will shed more light on more options for heart surgery and health in general. Good Luck Tillman.

May your daughter grow to be a strong and vibrant woman, blessed with the love that only caring and compassionate family life brings. I commend your actions and hope that they can bring peace and comfort to all who have suffered under our arcane and money oriented medical system. Thank you and many blessings to you and yours...

The Tillman family has something to be grateful for. There is power in the name of the Lord. Much Love to you and your family, coming all the way from Tennessee.

Charles.....I wish I had a father like you. What a great person you are for sharing this so others can benefit and learn from it. May God bless you and your whole family!

My prayer is with you n your family.

Peanut,
May Lord continue to bless Tiana and your family just remember to keep God first and everything else will fall in place. You have always been great guy and see now even greater father from the first time I met you at Southern University from my roommate who was from Killeen, TX. You has always been a standup guy. Good Luck with everything Peanut.

Remember God is the Great Physician.
To him be Glory and Praise and Honour.

God bless

To anonyomous that wrote "who cares". Most people with any character care about their fellow human beings. A person that writes who cares must be a low life individual. This is a child you don't care about. It can happen to you.

For the person that posted who cares
what kind of person would even say that
what an idiot

Gharles may God continue to bless you and your family special blessings go to your daugher and the physicians on board.God can do anything but fail,I know cause I done tried him.

I care.

Mr. Tillman:
First I say Praise Be To God for His wealth of knowledge He has instilled in the physicians hands.
Secondly, I ask that you ignore the negative comments about God. You know who is the Author and Finisher of your faith.
May your family continue to be Blessed. Keep your hands in the Masters Hands and He will surely take care of you and your family.
Knock and it shall be answered, Seek and you shall find, Open the door to your heart and He will come in and sup with you.
You and your family faces are stained in the palm of His hand. And nothing and no one can pluck you out.
The Love that has been shown to you and your family tells you that you are the apple of His eye.

And yes, you negative nay sayers. Take your negativity and place it somewhere else. These are God children who are speaking out and you have no place in here.

John 8:44 clearly state that Your father is the Author of Lies. And you are his children. If you want to find out your fathers name read the
scripture. In case you have a difficult time
understanding the Written Word of God...Your
father's name is satan, the evil one, the devil. He does not deserve to have his name capitalized.
Be Gone, you deserve to be under our feet just
like your father.

All Honor and Glory belong to God for His Wonderful Mercies upon Tiana. Mr. Tillman, please
stay involved with the Lord. He has more in store for you and your family.
Love In Christ - Your Sister in the Lord
Allean

I won't be rooting for you on the field, Charles, but as a father, my prayers will be with you and your daughter. Our sons turn us into fathers, our daughters turn us into daddys. God bless.

How Christian of you Allean to say that the negative people should be put under foot. You don't have to believe in god to wish the Tillman family well.

To the Tillman Family: Thank God for Tiana's blessing. Now the term "bless her heart" will have new meaning for you. Keep on fighting for your child and others who need these type of medical advances.
To Kane Alexander's Family: It takes a special person to be want the best for another child especially when your own child has passed on due to a similar circumstance. May the Lord comfort and keep you.
To "who cares": You must really make your family proud with that comment. Whether it was from lack of compassion, ignorance for just plain meaness....what a sad way to be. These words will burn in your memory when your time of need comes. Then you really may wonder "who cares".

GODBLESS YOUR DAUGHTER,THAT IS A GIFT FROM GOD TO BE SAVED.I KNOW I GAVE MY SON A KIDNEY ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO,BUT HIS BODY REJECTED AFTER A YEAR.GOOD LUCK CHARLES TILLMAN.AND FOR THAT PERSON WHO WROTE WHO CARES,WELL I DO I HAVE A SON THATS WAITING FOR A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT.IF YOU WERE A MAN TO WRITE THAT YOU SHOULD OFF BEEN A MAN AND WROTE YOUR NAME.YOU ARE A TRUE COWARD!!I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE KIDS CAUSE YOUR NOT A MAN,YOUR A ANIMAL.

Thank you for bringing this blessing to so many people. There are many procedures available, however, we are not privy to them, nor are we given that little extra information that, maybe, we will pursue alternative procedures. May God bless you and your family.

To the Post by Joe @ 10:56 am......There is a need to thank God for the technology that was given to the folks that made the Berlin Heart. Science would not be anything but for God giving the human kind the knowledge.

GOD IS THE REASON WE ARE ALL LIVING!

Angelic blessings to the Tillman daughter and her family.And for the anonymous racist idiot who would write something like that about a child, I hope your "white sheet"suffocates you.

I am the Mother of an organ donor and I wish you and Tiana and your family well. It gives our family great comfort to know the good that comes from being a donor family. Our loss was awful and there is not a day that goes by that my son is not in my thoughts, but my thoughts also go to the recipients of his gifts and to all organ recipients. It is such a blessing to see recipients living normal, active lives when they were so desperately ill before their transplants.

I'm glad everything worked out for his daughter with out a doubt. But this shows yet another instance that it takes money in order to survive or get any kind of medical help. In this instance you can't tag a price on a human life. But it is always tagged in order for it to be sustainded.

To the anonymous, Who Cares individual,it saddens me to know that heartless people still exists. Clearly there are underlying issues as to why you would post such a comment.I must look through this with spritual eyes and pray for God to deliver you from yourself and into his presence. To the Tillman family, my prayers will be for you all. God Bless!!

What a wonderful story. As a social worker in a renal dialysis unit, I hope this helps encourage more research for this type of life saving technology. Not just for hearts, but Kidneys, livers, lungs, pancreas... And the technology would be wasted if not for organ donors. I would encourage everyone to be a donor organ when you are done with your organs. Most importantly, make sure people know you are a donor! Thank you for all that are already donors.

First off, the person who said "who cares" is heartless! That being said, it is great to see how God works to save the lives of His children. It is amazing to see the gifts that He gives to people and the advances in medicine that we have. I pray that all goes well until she gets a heart transplant. Stay strong Charles, and never give up the faith. Go Bears!

my deepest and most sincere prayers are with you and your family. i hope that all is well and goes will. Continue to speak out and to encourage this and there are many people who may see whay you r going thru and they may come aboard to help in the research that may save millions of other lives. Be blessed and continue to look to the hills which comes your strength. be encourages my friend

Mr. Tillman is an example of what I believe are the MAJORITY of NFL players. A man with a career, a family and a regular life...along with life's challenges. May God continue to bless the Tillman Family.

For the "who cares" comment - what an unhappy person you must be to not care about saving a life!! This is what some people in our world have become - sad!

What a blessing to be able to provide this type of medical procedure to help save a life.

Take care.

To Charles, best wishes and prayers for your daughter. 3 yrs ago, I should have been dead but thanks to God & the skilled surgeon He put in my life, I successfully had 3/4ths of my aorta replaced and my heart is beatingever so strong. To the "who cares" person, I care not only for Charles & his family, for those who suffer any family loss by murder, heart disease, etc. but I also care for those who can't just say "good luck" rather than who cares!!!

I care too.God bless.

Great inspirations come from the most unexpected events. Sorry that your daughter is ill and praying for God's Will and Speed for her recovery.

Hi' Charles I LOVE my BEARS your the BEST,i am a mother of three, i my prayers go out to you and your family, Thank God for Tiana's blessing and a full recovery !!!!!

I care.

What a pathetic bunch. Just using another chance to praise god(s)and plug religious message. How about sticking with the subject at hand: science and the ones who advance it every day. Be assured that most of them don't depend on faith like you all. It does not depend on your prayers or it would work every time, why my child, not your's? Stop accepting all the good and bad with the same explanation. Inform yourself instead, and don't pretend you did something about injustice, misery, and a child dying every few minutes somewhere in the world because you 'prayed'!

To the Jerk that wrote "who cares???"... GOD CARES!!!! and so do all of the other well wshers conveying there sentiments, so if that's your atitude to the Working miracles of the God we believe in, next time DON'T COMMENT!!!!

Thank you Steve, I rest my case.

peanut tillman god bless your baby daughter and your family . chicago bears for life .

Ive had heart failure since 2003 thank God people in medical field and studies Im still here many blessings to your child and family
