What is it like to be an adult with a congenital heart defect whose heart has given out? What does a typical journey on the road to transplant like? Does it look anything like what we see portrayed on television or in movies?Lorrie Hill grew up in Texas, mostly Houston and Dallas. She was born with a single ventricle heart and has had three open-heart surgeries in her 24 years, including a pulmonary artery band and bidirectional Glenn shunt. She was listed for a heart transplant on February 24th, 2020. Since then, she graduated with honors from her undergraduate university and moved to Houston to be closer to Texas Children's Hospital where she will receive her transplant. She has even begun her Master of Public Health epidemiology graduate program. She talks to Anna about life now and her hope of receiving a new heart. This is a follow-up episode to the one Lorrie did in March 2020. There is also a transcript of the program available.Here are the links to the websites Lorrie mentioned in this episode:Donate LifeUNOS Transplant LivingOrgan Procurement and Transplantation NetworkLinks to 'Heart to Heart with Anna' Social Media and Podcast Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookYouTubeInstagramWebsiteIf you enjoy this program and would like to be a Patron, please check out our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/HeartToHeartIn this clip, Anna thanks listeners of "Heart to Heart with Anna" and asks them to keep the comments on the podcast episodes coming!Support the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite
