Becca

Age: 16

Diagnosis:

Born with congenital heart defect, Becca had 4 surgeries and has now been evaluated for a heart/lung transplant.

She's had several catheterizations at PCH. One time she nearly died and doctors saved her.

Another time she ended up with MRSA and Dr. Teodori saved her life. The infection was everywhere and outside doctors were very negative about her ability to survive it. But Dr. Teodori was confident that he could save her life. He made all the right calls, but was also honest with the family in telling them that it was possible that there might already be too much damage.

According to mom, says "Dr. Teodori just knew what to do…just has a sixth sense about these things."
