Meet Miracle Baby, Loretta! |
|
Miracle Baby, Loretta has Ebstein's Anomaly. She spent her first month in the CVICU, then went home for 4 months, but unfortunately went into a cardiac arrest during a scheduled surgery. Loretta was then placed in a medically induced coma on life support. After Loretta spent a couple of months recovering in the CVICU, she happily returned home!
Miracle Mom, Ashley, happily shares, "Loretta just turned 4 and is doing amazing! She is obsessed with Encanto and loves to color, read, and dance. She just got a puppy and is as happy as can be. We're so lucky!"
