Heart transplant recipient returns home to Lawrence
Four year old Rose Naughtin, a heart transplant recipient, is back home in Lawrence with her parents John and Paula. She underwent the transplant January 20 at St. Louis Children’s Hospital for a rare disorder, spent a week in hospital and two weeks at Ronald McDonald House, and will have several weeks of follow up at Children’s Mercy and doctor visits. Her mother says she’s doing pretty well, but anti rejection drugs require limited visitor contact for about three months.
