Jenny's mitral valve replacement worked so well she no longer needed a transplant.
Transcript
So I had open heart surgery on March 1st of this year to replace my mitral valve. It was either mitral valve or heart lung transplant. So I was like ‘I’m good with trying the valve first’. It did so well, that it was supposed to go ‘valve replacement, recover from that, then transplant list’. But it did so well that I don’t need a transplant for a few years now.
