Emma's Diagnosis

At just 4 months old, Emma was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition that weakens the heart muscle and can lead to heart failure. Doctors at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) explained that Emma would need a heart transplant to survive.

The Waiting Game

The Bradens were devastated by Emma's diagnosis, but they knew they had to stay strong for her. They were placed on the heart transplant waiting list and began the long and anxious wait for a donor heart. Months turned into years as the Bradens watched their daughter struggle to breathe and gain weight.

A New Heart

In September 2018, the Bradens finally received the news they had been waiting for: a donor heart had become available. Emma was rushed to CHOP and underwent a successful heart transplant surgery. The surgery was a success, and Emma made a remarkable recovery.

Life After Transplant

Emma is now a healthy and thriving 7-year-old girl. She loves to play with her friends, dance, and sing. The Bradens are grateful for the gift of life that organ donation has given their daughter. They are also passionate advocates for organ donation and are committed to raising awareness of the importance of saving lives through organ transplantation.
