That’s as a result of for Justin, well being issues together with the potential of needing a coronary heart transplant is one thing that has been a part of his life for so long as he can bear in mind.

When he was two years previous, he was recognized with Loeffler’s syndrome, a uncommon illness of the guts lining that causes the partitions of the guts to be inflexible, which is attributable to the buildup of eosinophils (a wide range of white blood cells) within the coronary heart’s ventricles.

When he was 4-years previous, Justin underwent his first open coronary heart surgical procedure at Lucile Packard Kids’s Hospital Stanford by cardiothoracic surgeon Frank Hanley, MD—a Glenn process to take away scar tissue from his proper ventricle, and reroute blood move to his lungs to assist relieve his signs of congestive coronary heart failure. Justin’s dad and mom had been informed that by the point he was a youngster, further surgical procedure would doubtless be required, and probably he would finally want a coronary heart transplant.

Within the years that adopted, Justin’s dad and mom targeted on holding him lively and wholesome, whereas he battled different issues related along with his Loeffler’s syndrome. However in late 2017, his well being started declining quickly, together with coronary heart arrhythmia, excessive fatigue and lack of urge for food. Following 4 stays within the hospital’s ICU, Justin’s care workforce at Packard Kids’s decided he would wish a coronary heart transplant to outlive, and listed him on April 10, 2018.

The household started discussing plans for the transplant ready interval. Justin was listed as a Standing 2 affected person on the guts transplant listing, that means he was deemed wholesome sufficient on oral drugs to stay at dwelling whereas he waited. Docs informed them it was widespread to take months or years for sufferers in Justin’s place to obtain a donor match. Actually, it had been 4 years since a Standing 2 affected person obtained a coronary heart at Packard Kids’s.

The Wang household began to plan an alternate schedule for highschool and faculty, considering Justin can be unable to finish his conventional Four year-high college schooling as a result of his well being. After which they turned to his bucket listing: first up was a visit to New York, a metropolis Justin had by no means visited.

However an unprecedented 17 days after Justin was listed, his dad and mom obtained a name in the midst of the night time: there was a match.

“We had been planning to go to New York to go to my associates from graduate college. We had been reserving tickets. Then we bought a name from a quantity that I acknowledged instantly – from the Coronary heart Heart,” stated his mom, Yang. “I used to be shocked. We hadn’t actually gotten prepared for it but. It was such a nice shock, such a lifesaving reward.

Three months after Justin’s transplant, the household returned dwelling to Pleasanton, CA. Justin’s restoration has been “transformational,” Yang says. “A lot has modified for him. He has modified so considerably.”

Within the time since, he has been swimming day by day, strolling on the treadmill, and is trying ahead to quickly with the ability to run for the primary time in his life.

He not too long ago requested, “What’s working? How is it completely different from strolling?” His father jokingly responded “Working is if you fly for a nanosecond when each of your toes are off the bottom.” Justin responded: “Oh, so I can fly!”

Now again at Foothill Excessive Faculty as a sophomore, Justin is at the moment engaged on his Make-A-Want undertaking. For a lot of his life, he lacked an urge for food or any curiosity in meals as a result of his ailing coronary heart, however he’s now partnering with an area chef, Victoria Lacuesta, to create a transplant-friendly cookbook with heart-healthy recipes. He’s additionally lively in his college’s Pink Dot Membership, a company began by one in every of his classmate’s that raises consciousness for organ and tissue donation.

Along with his second likelihood at life given by his new coronary heart, Justin is raring to perform extra of his bucket listing, which incorporates mountaineering within the Grand Canyon. “He understands the potential end result he may have had,” Yang stated. “It’s been an incredible journey, bodily and psychologically. And now he’s working towards one thing to benefit from his second likelihood.”

That is all potential due to the donor and the donor’s household. “There isn’t any current extra valuable than this life saving donation,” Yang stated. “Whereas we have fun the brand new lifetime of Justin, we’re aware of the lack of one other household, and our gratitude in the direction of them is past phrases. We inform our son ‘Justin, you carry two individuals’s lives; reside properly, and deal with the opposite individual’s coronary heart!”
