Emotional Video Captures Teen Waking From Heart Transplant Surgery

After many months of anxious, uncertain waiting, 15-year-old Trevor Sullivan was wheeled into an operating room last November to undergo heart transplant surgery. Doctors told his family that without the transplant, Trevor wouldn’t have long to live. The procedure would also come with extreme risks.

Thankfully, Trevor survived the surgery, and when he emerged from the operating room, his first few words were utterances, not of pain or suffering, but of unbridled joy.
