23 Feb
Summary
- Oakley celebrated one year post-heart transplant, a remarkable recovery.
- Her parents feared she wouldn't receive a transplant call in time.
- Now, Oakley enjoys a full life, playing with her brother and in gymnastics.
A year ago, Oakley, a 7-year-old girl from Texas, anxiously awaited a heart transplant, a surgery her parents knew was critical. Her mother, Kennidi, expressed her deepest fear was not whether Oakley would survive the procedure, but if she would ever receive the life-saving call.
Oakley's journey began with severe limitations, her oxygen levels critically low and her energy depleted. She could barely walk into a store, and her lips were often tinged purple. The prospect of her recovery seemed distant.
