What an early first birthday gift!
The little northwest suburban Hanover Park boy had his life-saving operation late last week. He finally got a new heart - without which - he wasn't expected to survive.
A donor heart became available late Thursday and nearly 11 month old Faris Samara (he was born July 14, 2008) was rushed into surgery soon after. He came through with flying colors.
His mother, Siham, who's been at his hospital bedside daily, for months says, "So far, I guess you could say a miracle has occurred."

Again, Baby Faris now has a new heart and hospital officials at Children's Memorial say he's doing great!
