In this episode, Tracy shares her journey from a young girl diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy to adulthood finding out thanks to her husband that she was in heart failure and would need a to have a heart transplant.
It wasn’t until her early 40’s that doctors told her that her conditioned had worsened and that she need to stop all physical activity. Tracy was put on a heart transplant list and began the long process of finding a donor match despite what she was told were very low odds.
Then to everyone’s surprise Tracy got a call from Cedars-Sinai in LA saying they were going ahead with a transplant. On May 31st, 2020 Tracy was gifted a second chance at life from her heart donor Rick ❤️
