Dani-Lynn has three congenital heart defects; HLHS, VSD, and a PAPVR repair. She also has poor left lung function, and a high antibody count.

There is no cure for her heart disease.

Dani-Lynn doesn’t qualify for a heart transplant due to her high antibody count. Doctors say she would reject it immediately.

Her family is doing the best they can to let her live the best life she can for what little time they have left with her. It’s a medical miracle she has made it to the age of seven.
