- 👶 Marylu Perez, an 11-month-old girl, has been discharged from New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital.
- 🏥 She spent most of her young life undergoing treatment for a rare form of heart disease.
Innovative Heart Treatment
- 💔 Marylu's heart was surgically removed and temporarily replaced with a mechanical heart.
- 🗓️ This temporary solution was in place until a donor heart became available in August.
- 🩺 The surgery was particularly challenging due to Marylu's young age and the difficulty of operating on a small, non-dilated heart.
Road to Recovery
- 🏠 Following her hospital discharge, Marylu's next step is a rehab center.
- 🙏 There is hope that she will be able to return home soon after completing her rehabilitation.
- 🎉 She received a celebratory sendoff from the hospital staff, complete with a graduation cap and bubbles.
