Introduction:
I. Before the age of four a girl named Bailey had to undergone two open heart surgeries. At the age of 12 the doctors realized that her heart was falling behind as her body grew and the only promising option they had was to do a transplant, in order to do this they had to put her on a mechanical pump that would allow for her body to become strong enough for the procedure. Many hospitals did not have the qualifications for this necessary exemption, but Riley hospital did, after a few months the doctors told her that her lungs and heart had strengthened enough to take her off the transplant list. For about 4 years she lived a normal teenage life until her heart suddenly stopped on her and she was rushed to Riley to undergo an emergency surgery. They fixed two valves, replaced a third and created a path that will allow for better blood flow. After this procedure in 2007 she has lived a happy a normal life ever since.
