Kaiden leaves hospital
He may be too young for two front teeth, but not a healthy human heart.
Eleven-month-old Kaiden Bracken traded his mechanical heart for a real beating one last week, just in time for Christmas. The life-saving procedure came after an eight-month hospital stay while waiting for a donor.
He was the 18th child since 2010 to receive a heart transplant at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood and the first to receive a heart from a donor with a different blood type.
