Erie News Now has an update about a young girl from Erie that received a heart after four years of waiting for a transplant.
Brooklyn Morehouse is ten years old . We first met her when she and her family at the American Heart Association’s “Erie Heart Walk” in September of 2024.
She was carrying a sign that simply said, “I need a heart.”
Brooklyn was battling Hypo-plastic left heart syndrome.
Erie News Now has learned just this week, Brooklyn’s family got the call.
It came in at 11 pm on Wednesday night.
She was at Pittsburgh Children’s Hospital at 11 am on Thursday and underwent surgery.
Now, Brooklyn s now recovering with a new heart. While she still has a long recovery ahead, her family said she is doing well.
