“One of the nurses said that Brooklyn will always have a piece of Mia’s heart,” Nicole Skaats said. “They’ll always be bonded.”
When Mia Skaats was only 10 days old, she began breathing rapidly, and her mom, Nicole Skaats, immediately knew something was wrong. Doctors eventually determined the newborn had cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart struggles to bump blood to the rest of the body, and she was in heart failure.
Baby Mia Skaats needed a new heart, even though her heart valves worked well. Baby Brooklyn Civil needed a new heart valve. The two will share a connection for life, as Mia donated her heart valve to Brooklyn after Mia got a new heart.On May 10, 2023, Baby Mia received a new heart in a domino transplant procedure, the first one performed in babies. A domino transplant surgery occurs when a one person is both a donor for a transplant and a recipient of another organ.
“It was very hard,” Samantha Civil said. “You just don’t imagine that when you find out you’re pregnant.”After Brooklyn was born, the Civils learned she’d need a partial heart transplant — where she’d receive a healthy valve to replace the missing one — in order to live. “She did this fast breathing. I saw it and I couldn’t unsee it,” Nicole Skaats said. “I was talking to doctor after doctor — cardiologist, emergency department, and everyone kept telling me she was fine.”
As Goldstone was reviewing Brooklyn’s case, he realized something: Mia’s valves worked perfectly and could help Brooklyn.
