"I thank God and I thank the doctors that my baby is here today," says Harvie's mother, Elizabeth Sinclair.
When Harvie Junior was just a couple of months old, a virus attacked his heart. Doctors knew he would eventually need a new one, and until last December, he was able to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Harvey was admitted to Duke Children's Hospital when he had trouble breathing. He had to wrestle with his bad heart, while waiting for a new one. The call came within two months.
"It was critical for Harvie. I really don't think he could have gone home or gone back to his usual life without a heart transplant," says cardiologist Dr. Resai Bengur.
During his follow-up visits, Harvie finds fun things to do. He watches movies during his exams and plays video games during treatment.
