Diaries of a Heart Warrior
I'm Amy Erhart, the host of Diaries of a Heart Warrior; born with a Congenital Heart Defect (Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome-HLHS). I'm creating this podcast to bring you stories told by individuals living with a Congenital Heart Defect. Episodes will also include the parent(s) point of view on how it felt to receive the diagnosis of their child; what they wish they knew and what life looks like now. Let's take a journey and explore the lives of Heart Warriors as the stories are told from their perspective.

Chastity Rushing's Story- Heart Transplant
Today, Chastity tells us about her heart transplant journey. Never meeting Chastity and not knowing her story I'm so honored she shared it with us! She takes us through the initial moments of feeling that deep down something wasn't right, to continuing to push herself to live her life as her heart is failing her all the way through her transplant. How rapidly her health started to deteriorate and what it looked like in the months leading up to her transplant. She also brings so much hope to the future of CHD knowing heart transplants are potentially part of our future!
