Arawana Miller
2021 finished up in the most amazing way, as Arawana was born on December 31, 2021. Unfortunately for her she has had a lot to get through, but she has shown herself to be a fighter every minute! For now, her heart is relying on equipment to help it work. This incredible, sweet little one is currently awaiting a heart transplant.
Arawana has a machine called a left ventricular assistive device (LVAD), a machine that does the work of the left side of the heart. There is discussion about placement of a right ventricular assistive device (RVAD), which would mean machines would be doing the work of the entire heart. This little fighter has endured more surgeries, procedures, medication than many experience in a lifetime! Even still, when she is awake you can see her smiling at her parents, Legare and Rebecca.
Legare and Rebecca Miller are dedicated nurses and would prefer to help others, but these days they are spending every moment possible with their favorite patient, their sweet baby girl Arawana.
They have partnered with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) for assistance with transplant-related expenses (click the link above to be taken to Arawana’s COTA page).
