Abbigail's Precious Heart (APH) was created to honor the memory of our daughter Abbigail Lin Nelson. Abbigail was born on 6/7/2019 with a heart defect called Transposition of the great arties (TGA) a very narrow aorta arch and several holes in her heart. Abbigail became a miracle baby right away. This was a rare heart condition and a very dangerous heart condition if not fix right away. Abbigail went on ECMO at 6 days old, making heart surgery very hard because her body was not strong enough. ECMO is a life-support machine that runs your heart and lungs, which saved Abbigail's life. Unfortunately, a side effect of this machine can cause bleeds in the brain. We found a massive bleed in her brain that cover the entire back of her brain. We were told if she stayed on ECMO she wouldn't make it and if we took her off, she most likely wouldn't make it. Well, her dad Alex and I knew we had to give Abbigail a fighting chance, so we took her off of ECMO. This is when Abbigail showed everyone how strong she really was, she was opening her eyes and moving her fingers! Abbigail still had a long tough road though, her doctors said that due to the bleed in her brain, she was no longer a candidate for heart surgery. We had to wait for the bleed to get better and the wait game was not in her favor when in came to he heart condition. TGA is when the arties are flipped, so her oxygen was going to her heart and her blood was going to her lungs. This heart condition has an almost zero percent survival rate if not fixed right away. Abbigail once again proved her was strong then they thought and she made it to her heart surgery 3 months later.
