Cami’s Courage: A story hope and celebration – Thank you MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Health

I’m always appreciative of the bravery of the doctors, nurses, administrators and volunteers that not only treat the patients, but empathize with the struggles the families are facing. When a story of triumph comes out, relief and celebration rise to the top and here is one truly worth celebrating, Cami’s Courage!

About Cami and her visit to MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Health
When an x-ray revealed Ewing’s sarcoma in her leg, Cami was treated at a children’s hospital. Chemotherapy helped, but radiation caused her heart to fail. Doctors implanted a ventricular assist device, but she later suffered a stroke, and needed a heart transplant. A day after being placed on the donor list, Cami received a heart! Now, she’s back in school and enjoying teenage life.
