4-year-old gets a new heart for his birthday: 'Eternally grateful'
Fox News
Sammy Jones received a new heart earlier this month.
"He’s been through it, but that’s why we call him Superman Sammy." "I’m a firm believer that faith is a muscle and boy, I’ve been doing some heavy lifting." "It’s been a pretty long, rough road for all of us involved." "He’s been fighting for his life, and I’m right here fighting with him."
Although he underwent three surgeries over the last four years to remedy the issue, complications arose last year which resulted in Sammy being placed on a heart transplant list in December.
On April 4, nearly three weeks before his fourth birthday, Sammy underwent a 14-hour lifesaving heart transplant surgery at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, which was a success.
