A heart/lung transplant is an extremely rare & high risk procedure.  In fact, the UW Heart Transplant Center has only performed 17 such transplants since 1989. Today on WTMJ Conversations, WTMJ's Libby Collins sits down with Kortney Zblewski, a Wisconsin mother who documented her journey as a heart/lung transplant recipient on TIkTok. Kortney talks about her wait for a heart and lung, the challenging road to recovery, living her life to the fullest with a new heart, and so much more. It's all ahead on this uplifting edition of WTMJ Conversations!
