A teenager’s first words after waking up from his heart transplant are a lesson in not taking the small things – like breathing – for granted. Trevor Sullivan, a 15-year-old kid from Detroit, was diagnosed with severe cardiomyopathy last February. He had been waiting for eight months for a donor heart to become available, allowing him to get the life-saving operation. And as he woke up he cried: ‘I’m so happy. I’ve been waiting so long. I can breathe again… and talk.’
What is Cardiomyopathy?
Cardiomyopathy is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle.
It means the walls of the heart chambers have become either stretched, thickened or stiff.
This stops the heart being able to pump blood around the body.
When his father Philip, 43, asked him if he felt good, Trevor replied: ‘I feel amazing. I’ve never felt so good.’
Speaking to ABC News after recovering, Trevor said: ‘I really like the video, actually. I think it’s really cool and I wish everyone in the world could see it because it really makes a difference. ‘It promotes organ donation and people can see the outcome of it and how happy they [patients] really are.’
Philip, who recently shared the video with charity Gift of Life Michigan on Facebook, said Trevor had been feeling sick for about a year before his diagnosis, but they thought he was allergic to something.
But on February 12, Trevor had to be airlifted to a specialist children’s hospital after suffering sudden heart failure. Eight months later, on November 12, Trevor underwent his surgery.

His mum Kimberley said her son had been given a new lease of life. ‘It felt like it was better than the day he was born,’ she said. culled metro uk
Welcome to my blog, Wow!!!! It feels good saying "my blog"! I know that I am nervous and excited at the same time, but nothing can be compared to the joy that I am feeling right now. Words cannot explain my feeling of accomplishment. I honestly can't believe that I am starting my own blog, it's like a dream, somebody should just pinch me. Lol!! Before I bore you guys with my excitement and the phrase "my blog" let me share the reason for this excitement. Over the years my friends have asked me why I am not blogging and the answer I always gave them was that I am not a good writer neither am I a grammarian. I always see myself as not having what it takes to be a blogger. The more I thought about blogging, the more I loved the idea but what to write or how to put my thoughts in writing has always been my major fear so i've always shoved the idea of blogging aside. My friends will always say to me "Chika you're doing great on fa...
This past weekend few of my friends were in town ( port - harcourt) for our friend's father's funeral. I went to a hotel at stadium road to meet my friend Ada Babyluv. Ada ordered for drinks for my friend and I , I asked Ada if she's not having a drink and her response was she wants to eat bole and fish she insisted that she won't taste a thing until she has eaten port - harcourt bole and fish( she's not meant to know this part but she said it was another reason she came to port - harcourt) I can't say I blame her because truthfully no bole and fish in Nigeria can be compared to the ones made in port - harcourt. No offence to lagos people but I tried eating bole and peanuts in lagos and it was horrible. Bole and fish is a street food, it's basically roasted plantain and fish dipped in peppery palm oil sauce. You can call it a roadside pleasure, there's no street in port -harcourt that you won't find bole and fish spot/joint, because...
Sometimes I can't help but wonder if social media is a blessing or a curse. I honestly can't explain the craziness going on, on Social media. According to Mediatakeout A sick man is threatening to shoot a Baby on Facebook if he doesn't get a 100 likes on his page. What has the baby got to do with his page? Although they have limited information about the man they have notified the authorities and also wants the public to help the police with information regarding the poster. Chixy
