Kisses for Kenzie

Kisses for Kenzie This is Kenzie's heart journey. She's the perfect combination of princess and warrior.

Follow us along on this incredible roller coaster ride. Team Kisses For Kenzie was started in honor of our warrior, Kenzie Caitlyn. Kenzie was born on May 22, 2015, with multiple heart conditions, including Complete Heart Block (why she needs her permanent pacemaker), Cardiomyopathy (Heart Failure), and Atrial Septal Defect. The first of her 3 heart surgeries was when she was only a few hours old and weighed just over 4lbs. Three months later, she developed a severe form of Neonatal Lupus, which caused painful open wounds all over her body. At that same time, Kenzie also went into heart failure and was in the hospital for several months. The doctors felt they were backed into a corner and that heart transplant was going to be the only option. Luckily, Kenzie held on and pushed through without having to go that route. Because of the heart failure, Kenzie had a feeding tube placed, which she used until she was 3.5 years old. She has spent many many months in the hospital over the course of her almost 7 years of life, and unfortunately, the hospital stays are not over for her, as we were just told that she will need another surgery very soon. We cannot thank the entire Children's Hospital staff for everything they have done to repeatedly save Kenzie's life.
