new heart,new life

 On February 2, 2012 A teenager got a new heart. the teens name is Courtney Montgomery had a heart condition that could end her life. The teen didn't want to get the heart transplant he mother wanted he to get it but courtney said now. The teen has had this condition since she was 8. It stop her from doing things she love like  cheerleading.Montgomery had made up her mind she was not going going to have the transplant and her heart was failing fast and the doctors can't do anything about because she didn't want to have the transplant. Another person Josh Winstead 17 years old was a football player had the same condition that courtney has but ,in 2011 he had a heart transplant he was doing well with his heart. The doctors had the two teens meet. they where hoping that john would sale courtney on doing the transplant so she could seave. The two quicky became friends and courtney had the transplant april of 2011 the two even went to prom together. 
I think that this an good story for hope because the teen was slowly dieing  and she didn't wan to have the transplant  it seemd like she was ready to die. But when she met wit another person around the same age as her and had the same condition that she had. She changed her mind and made a new friend. This bad thing that she had helped her make a new friend http://portal.achieve3000.com/article/?g=11328&c=1&sc=275&ssc=0&a=152504&returnUrl=%2Fsearch%2Fsearch_results.php%3FreturnUrl
