Nine years ago, we shared a story about Melia, a little girl with major congenital heart disease who joined her family after they saw her on Holt's waiting child photolisting. Read an update on Melia today from her parents, Ryan and Katie!

Melia is now 10 years old. She had three surgeries to strengthen her heart when she first arrived home, but has not seen the operating room since! She gets annual checkups with her cardiologist, but has not needed any further interventions or medications.
