Trevor Sullivan underwent heart transplant surgery after suffering from severe heart failure and getting rushed to hospital by his parents who had assumed he had a devastatingly bad cold. I mean the last thing you expect to happen to your teenage son is have his heart stop beating out of nowhere.

Man, that’s awesome and really reminds you not take to your own health for granted.

Trevor’s currently recovering well in his Michigan home while his body adapts to his new heart. How crazy is it that this kid actually has a new heart beating inside his chest? Incredible.
