Meet Benjamin
Benjamin had a heart transplant after contracting a bacterial infection that moved to his heart.
Benjamin, a healthy 8 year old, woke up one day with a headache and fever. It turned out a bacterial infection had invaded his heart. After 2 open heart procedures, he underwent a heart transplant! Benjamin and his mom spent 55 days at UVA Children’s, then were released to their Yellow Door Apartment, where Benjamin spent another month regaining his strength. Benjamin is a Junior US Marshal Deputy, and a black belt in Taekwondo!
