If you follow me on instagram then you know how special this episode is. Back in June of this year a friend of mine had sent me a post on instagram about a little 3 year old boy named Tru who was on vacation in Hawaii and suddenly became very ill. It turned out that he was fighting acute viral myocarditis. I immediately began praying for this little boy and his entire family. I shared every update I saw over the course of the next few weeks and I know many of you were praying for him as well. I was able to get in contact with his Mom, Danielle and I’m so excited that she was open to coming on the podcast and sharing his story with us all.

Tru’s fight and subsequent recovery is nothing short of miraculous. Both Danielle and I hope that this episode not only inspires you but that is also spreads awareness to the signs and symptoms of acute viral myocarditis. We also hope that this brings more awareness to the unfortunate need for more pediatric organ donors. Danielle also had one correction she wanted to make and that is that Tru had previously had Fifths disease which is a type of parvovirus, not coxsackie although both are known to cause viral myocarditis.

Thank you all for being here and taking the time to hear Tru’s story. I hope you enjoy this episode.
