Geez. That's not gonna be a good life for that baby. Anti-rejection medication for it's entire life which will most likely lead to cancer.

Re: Completed Heart Transplant on 7 Week Old Baby
I'm curious if the implanted heart would grow and develop with the infant. Seems like there would be issues with size, ability to pump and whatnot.

Re: Completed Heart Transplant on 7 Week Old Baby
My niece had a heart transplant a few days before her first birthday. She's in her early twenties now. Yes, the meds are necessary, but she lives a relatively normal life for the most part.
