What is the best Christmas present you can think of?

As a toddler, Liam was a happy little boy who was always coughing and wheezing. His hometown doctors couldn’t figure out why Liam was always sick.

Suddenly, a few weeks before his 2nd birthday, Liam was so sick that he was rushed to the Emergency Department at SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital via ambulance.

“I didn’t know what was going on, but I looked over, and they just started doing chest compressions,” said Jessica, Liam’s mom. Liam had an enlarged heart, and it was killing him. To survive, he would need a transplant.

On Christmas Eve, Liam and his mom received a phone call to his hospital room that would change everything. On the other end of the line was the transplant coordinator who said, “Jessica, we have a Christmas present for Liam!”

On Christmas Day, Liam received his new heart!
