To undergo a heart transplant is to undertake a journey to a new life. My journey started at 13.
Nothing in the world could prepare you for something like that. I went from
Healthy child to sick child quicker than a heart beat.
Being diagnosed with cardio myopathy a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body.
I waited 3 months and a day in the hospital.
On July 6,1996 my life was saved by my donor angel Matthew. His family chose Life and I thank them every day for being a donor family.
A new heart and a new normal for endless possibilities.
My life is like a roller coaster with many ups and downs. I have a life to LIVE and I truly celebrate everyday like it’s
My birthday in honor of my donor angel Matthew.
Now I am waiting to get listed for a second heart and her first kidney transplant and on dialysis.
I know another angel will save my life.
