A heart transplant saves Colorado Springs boy’s life, what his family wants you to know

Melanie Everitt is the Director of Pediatric Heart Transplant at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “It’s truly amazing that Mason’s donor organ came so soon, because that’s not the case for many of the children waiting,” said Everitt. She said for the majority of children, it’s not common to need a transplant, but it’s also not common for donor organs to be available.
