Valentina Garnetti is a beautiful baby who has come to remind us of the importance of perseverance.

Shortly after her birth, Valentina was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

This condition means that a part of her heart is not as developed as it should be, resulting in insufficient pumping of blood to her entire body.

Due to this condition, Valentina had a weak pulse, difficulty breathing, AD and many other issues.

“She had complication after complication: cardiovascular accidents, seizures, and anaphylactic reactions,” explained Valentina’s mother.

Since then, the doctors decided that it would be best to admit her to the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.

Her condition was truly complicated, and there were moments when they were unsure if the little one would survive.

In the midst of all this chaos, sweet Valentina kept smiling and winning over everyone around her.

Her family members and hospital staff began to refer to her as the happiest baby in the world.

“Despite everything she has been through, she is pure joy. She loves everyone and simply adores living,” said Francesca Garnetti, her mother.

On one occasion, the doctors thought they would lose her, and Valentina was transferred to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. She spent 9 days there and received a life-saving treatment.

She then returned once again to the University of Michigan Hospital to continue being monitored by her regular doctors.

This little one had spent almost her entire life in hospitals. It was truly tough for her and her entire family.

Finally, shortly before turning two years old, the family received the long-awaited news: Valentina would be coming home.

As time goes on, Valentina will require further medical interventions, but she has come a long way to show us that we should never give up.

“Her joy is so genuine. She inspires us every day to keep moving forward,” said Francesca.

Their family needs help to cover all their medical expenses, and they have created a campaign on GoFundMe to continue in this challenging fight.

We celebrate how far this beautiful baby has come. We hope that she continues to fight with all her strength and enjoys her time to the fullest with her family.

No baby deserves to spend the first two years of their life fighting for their health, but this sweet girl has achieved it with a huge smile.
