00:00Our only choice was to list him or take him home on hospice.

00:02I'm literally holding my child's heart in my hands.

00:06You okay, buddy? Huh?

00:08These tubes right here connect into his stomach and they run all the way up to his heart.

00:14And that's what keeps it leading him.

00:16And it's connected to this machine, which keeps it running.

00:21That's keeping him alive.

00:23But if he wants any chance at a life outside the hospital, what he needs is a donor heart.

00:28Abram was born with a condition called HLHS, which is hyperplastic left heart syndrome.

00:33Usually they can reroute the baby's heart with three open heart surgeries to work from the right side.

00:37But Abram's heart was so underdeveloped, they couldn't do that.

00:40So our only choice was to list him or take him home on hospice.

00:43And hospice wasn't an option.

00:45They visit him in the hospital every day, knowing that the only way they'll be able to take him home

00:49is with another baby's heart beating in his chest.

00:53Yeah, you're doing so good.

00:56Yeah, just my mom.

00:59Yeah.

00:59Did you smile?

01:01What?

01:02Oh, you're giving me kisses?

01:03Yeah.

01:04There's some kisses.

01:05Yeah.

01:06What?

01:07Is that right?

01:09She's five months old today.

01:11Yeah.

01:11Who's five months old today?

01:14Yeah?

01:15Look at you.

01:17You're doing so good.

01:20He's a big boy.

01:21I know you are.

01:25I know.

01:27Abram's rocking in his chair.

01:30This is Berlin.

01:31This thing is huge now.

01:32He had a smaller one.

01:34That's his heart.

01:34It's literally pumping.

01:36There's arrows.

01:37One goes up.

01:38One goes out.

01:39Okay, buddy.

01:40All right.

01:46He's a gimme-go.

01:49Hold on, buddy.

01:50Hey.

01:53Hey.

01:54Hey.

01:55Hey.

01:57Hold on, buddy.

02:00Hold on, buddy.

02:02Hold on.

02:03You're almost on hand.

02:04After an agonizing wait, they finally got the news they were hoping for.

02:08In 10 months, we got that call.

02:10You got a stone in our heart.

02:11I know, baby.

02:13Mom, it's right here.

02:15I'm so sorry.

02:17I love you.

02:19For Mom, the weight of what another family sacrificed to save her son was indescribable.

02:29Oh, goodness.

02:32So beautiful.

02:34And finally, after 11 months in the hospital, he was able to leave for the very first time.

02:43Finally got to walk out of that hospital with him instead of having to leave him.

02:47The first time he felt sunshine, felt the air.

02:50Like, it was wild.

02:52Been waiting to make this for a long, long time.

02:55This is his Berlin.

02:56The one that he had that kept him alive for so long.

02:59And that's because of a donor that gave me the most priceless gift you give anybody.

03:08till the end.

03:08But then he got to walk out of that hospital.

03:12He's about to walk out of that hospital for some friends and

03:16and everybody.

03:17So wonderful.

03:17And I love that I have already known that all of him is going to be in forest.
