February is American Heart Month, and some North Texas families who’ve received lifesaving surgeries are showing their appreciation and raising awareness.
One of those patients is 2-year-old Gigi Leonard, who went through a 10-hour surgery to fix a life-threatening heart condition. NBC 5 spoke with Gigi’s parents and the surgeon who helped her make it through.
Today, Gigi Leonard is a smiling, energetic two-year-old. But in the hours after her birth, her outlook wasn’t so sunny.
