Mikayla's journey began before she entered this world on May 14, 2003. She was born with a heart defect, and needed a pacemaker. Her first pacemaker lasted for 4 years. In October 2007, she again went in for major surgery to have a hole in her heart repaired and also for a new pacemaker. She did fine for 3 months, then, February 1, 2008 she entered Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL to wait for a new heart. In the meantime, Mikayla had an artificial heart, "The Berlin Heart". A matching heart was available September 4, 2008 and she underwent heart transplant surgery. She came home on September 16th.
