HLHS occurs when the left side of the heart doesn't form as expected during pregnancy, and the condition impacts blood flow through the heart.
A heartwarming video of a 6-year-old boy gleefully announcing that he's getting a new heart is melting hearts online. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the Ohio hospital shared the footage of John-Henry, who was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, or HLHS, a rare congenital condition. The little boy was waiting for a life-saving heart transplant for six months. So, when a donor confirmed the availability of the organ, John-Henry beamed with happiness and shared his excitement with all his friends at Cleveland Clinic Children's. “I'm getting a new heart!”♥️We won't forget the day 6-year-old John-Henry learned a donor heart was available for him.John-Henry had been waiting for a life-saving heart transplant for six months before he and his family received the news.More: https://t.co/9ZdE0oBeHbpic.twitter.com/YjeAWGAbal
