A little cowboy in neighboring Cleveland, Texas is finally home from the hospital after undergoing a heart transplant.
, Texas is finally home from the hospital, after undergoing a heart transplant. His situation is eye-opening this "Donate Life Month" about how being on the donor list can save precious lives, like his. Jackson Ward, 8, spent 453 days in the hospital, many of those days fighting for his life. One thing that helped keep him going was the thought of going home to his family and beloved pet that he calls his best friend, his cow, Itsy. His medical journey began before he was even born.
Those levels go up when the heart can't pump correctly, anything over 100 is considered to be abnormal. Jackson tells us he was really happy that he had that option. Dr. Adachi says that Jackson's case was a very challenging one, but he says Jackson was an enjoyable patient to work with because he had such a good attitude through it all. Finally, in July 2022, they found a match! Doctors prepped Jackson for the potentially life-saving surgery.
They also had to deal with an unthinkable complication less than two weeks after Jackson got his transplant when his chest split open. Doctors say it was a community effort of medical workers and loving family members to help pull Jackson through all of this, and his mom says even through all of his medical struggles, he has helped keep her alive.
