Teen Celebrates His Successful Heart Transplant With a Dance in His Hospital Bed
Talk about a celebration! 15-year-old Amari Hall couldn’t help but celebrate the moment he woke up from his heart transplant. Just as his nurse, Katie, began to adjust his IV, Hall broke out in a major celebratory dance. Katie even joined in on the excitement and busted out a move of her own. Check it out below. “He’s always dancing,” his aunt, Charawn Hunter, told Inside Edition. "If you want to get him to do something, put on some music and say, 'Go Mari.'" The teenager was born with a congenital heart defect and has undergone several surgeries since he was a baby. "He missed a lot of his childhood milestones," Hall’s mother, Juaquinna, told CNN. The surgeries held Hall over for about 13 years, and allowed him to function with a repaired heart. However, about a year ago, he learned that his heart began to fail and he would need a transplant to survive. "He looked at me, and he said, 'What are you afraid of? It's my time,'" Juaquinna Hall said to CNN. "'I need to have this done.'" Hall was admitted to the University of Maryland Medical Center in December and waited until they could find a transplant. In March, Hall’s family finally received words that the doctors found a heart and it would be set aside for the 15-year-old. The operation was a success and just six days after, Hall was back to his lively and enthusiastic self. "We put the music on and he started dancing," Hunter said to CNN.
