Meet Catie

Catie was prenatal diagnosed with a heart defect. When she was born, her defect was worse than expected and she needed a heart transplant. She got her new heart on 12/6/10, 13 days after being listed for transplant. She has had many complications and Kerrington’s Heart came into our lives in 2013 when she was hospitalized for an autoimmune disorder. She is currently inpatient and in renal failure and their support has lifted our family up. Christy and Kerrington’s Heart do an amazing job of fostering community for families affected by CHD. It is a hard journey and can be isolating and knowing you are not alone goes a long way. We’ve enjoyed the heart family events and support during hospitalizations such as meals, care packages, and surprises for Catie and her brother, Zakk. We can never thank them enough for remembering us and supporting us during the difficult seasons of being a heart family.
