Sofia Sanchez, the eleven-year-old girl who had a surprise visit from Drake in the hospital, completed a successful heart transplant procedure.
Sofia Sanchez, an 11-year-old who needs a new heart, gained notoriety in August for her rendition of the well-known “Kiki Challenge”; in fact, Drake stopped by the hospital to pay a visit. A month later, Sanchez is doing well following a successful heart transplant procedure.
Sanchez’s mother, Natalie Sanchez, searched for a specialist who could assist her daughter, but the condition went untreated for weeks. Sanchez had cardiomyopathy.
Natalie said on Thursday on Good Morning America, “I knew she was sick, I was carrying her around for six weeks from doctor to doctor.” “She was being diagnosed with psychological problems and asthma by everyone.” All things aside from the heart.
Once the right diagnosis was made, medical professionals at Chicago’s Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital concluded that a full heart transplant would be the only course of action. After Sofia was placed on the transplant waiting list, their only option was to keep her stable until a suitable donor heart became available.
Natalie stated, “Her heart was only pumping 12 percent of its capacity, so it’s barely squeezing.” “It’s a waiting game, which is awful.”
Drake paid Sofia a surprise visit in her room while she was still waiting for a new heart.
“I stopped. She said on GMA, “I was like, is this a dream, or is this not a dream?” “I thought, oh my god.”
