I was 33 weeks pregnant with my second when I was diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy. I had no idea that my life was slowly turning upside down and I would have no control over anything. I was flown to Mayo Clinic in AZ where they saved my life and I received my first scar from my first open heart surgery for my Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). I was told that even with an LVAD I would eventually need a heart transplant. I waited over two years for that day. I went through a TIA and after numerous treatments to lower my antibodies I was told I needed to pray for a miracle, I had a 2% chance of ever finding a match. We headed home feeling defeated but knowing ultimately it would happen in Gods timing. Sure enough on Easter Sunday April 17, 2017...
I got my call.
