Even after almost a year, she still could not believe it. The doctor’s words continued to ring in her head as though she had heard them only yesterday.“Your daughter was born with a hole in her heart. Her condition will worsen over time,” the doctor had said. Olivia still remembered falling to her knees, begging him to find a way to save her daughter.“We are monitoring her closely and placing her on the transplant list. It may take a long time, but she could get lucky and receive a donor sooner.”Olivia had held onto that hope every single day, but now it had almost been a year and there was still no sign of a donor.The treatments were failing.
