At
26, Melody Hickman of Raleigh, North Carolina, discovered she had a
problem with her mitral valve. Fixing it required open-heart surgery.
Then, 14 years later, the valve needed to be replaced again. That meant

After more than a decade of heart problems and numerous open-heart
surgeries, Melody got a new heart.
