Survivor Story: McKinley Pollard
 | McKinley is 7 years old, an excellent student at Calvin Rodwell Elementary School and is very active in outside activities. Prior to July 2004 before McKinley was born she was diagnosed with having partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. We knew that she was going to need surgery so when she was born the testing and evaluations began. 2 ½ months later Drs. Cameron and Vricella operated on McKinley at Johns Hopkins. Now each year McKinley returns to John Hopkins Hospital for evaluations and testing to make sure her heart is working properly and she is growing. This past year Dr. Thompson, McKinley’s Cardiologist, changed her evaluations from each year to every other year. McKinley continues to strive and some of her favorite hobbies are Bowling, Dancing and Singing. |
