Now and then, Abby has overcome significant challenges since she left our Heart Center nearly 4 years ago. Diagnosed with a condition called cardiomyopathy, Abby had open-heart surgery to place a ventricular assist device (VAD) that helps her heart pump blood throughout her body. Our team taught her about how the VAD device works and the importance it plays in keeping her healthy. Abby says she wouldn't trade her experience for anything. She wants to become a transplant coordinator when she's older to use her experiences to support other kids through similar journeys like hers. Your future is bright, Abby! #WeHaveHeart #HeartMonth https://bit.ly/2KZhSfY
