- Taylor Berry, 13, is scared about his future as he waits in a Houston apartment for another heart.
Taylor had his first heart transplant when he was 3 after being diagnosed with restrictive cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disorder that prevented proper pumping. Since his transplant in 2000, Taylor has been very athletic — playing soccer, basketball, competing in swimming, even making baseball all-stars last season.
That heart is failing.
Doctors explained to him that it may take longer than the average six-month wait for another heart because he needs a heart compatible with five unique antigens his blood developed.
The Taylor Berry Heart Transplant Fund through American Bank helps with the familys living expenses in Houston and the about $50,000 for the transplants insurance deductible.
