Greg Olsen’s Son ‘Rings the Bell’ After Heart Transplant

Former NFL standout Tight End Greg Olsen is a happy father today. Olsen’s son underwent a heart transplant earlier in June. Today TJ Olsen was able to “ring the bell” at the hospital he underwent the procedure to replace his heart. Greg Olsen posted a heartfelt message regarding all the love and thoughts that had been sent the way of TJ and the family.

Ever since TJ was admitted into the ICU a little less than a month ago in heart failure, we would lay in bed at night and talk about “ringing the bell”! We didn’t know what that journey would look like or how long it would take, but he promised @karaolsen29 and I that he was going to ring it.

TJ’s positive attitude and selflessness throughout has been an inspiration to us all. Never did he feel sorry for him self or play the victim. All he did was talk about what the future held and the things he looked forward to doing.

Today we “rang the bell”, and for the first time our family whole again

To everyone who prayed for our little buddy and sent us words of encouragement and support.

All we can say is THANK YOU and WE 💚 YOU ALL

Wishing TJ a speedy recovery.

He’ll be in good hands with his Dad watching over him.
