If that doesn't work, they found out during the pregnancy that Emma had an enlarged heart and was in the late stages of heart failure. The doctors said she'd die before birth. But Emma ended up being born at 34 weeks (w/ lots of issues). She ended up having a heart transplant at 5 months but still wasn't growing. She was eventually diagnosed with Complex 1 mitochondrial myopathy and has complications from that. She is back on the transplant list. She is autistic as well.

And now her mom has a brain tumor.

Pretty crazy, huh?
