The parents of a 4-year-old girl who underwent three open-heart surgeries before her first birthday got their first-ever tattoos to show their daughter she is not alone.
Matt Backe said a local tattoo artist was able to recreate Everly's scar on his chest by looking at a photo of Everly.
And when Matt Backe got home with his tattoo, it inspired his wife, Lauren, to get her first tattoo. She now has a tattoo of EKG lines, which show a heart rate, on her forearm, alongside Jack and Everly's first initials. They found a hospital that would be able to treat her, and Everly spent the first month of her life in a specialized pediatric cardiology unit.Matt Backe looks at his daughter, Everly, who was born with a congenital heart defect.
They said that with more heart surgeries expected in her future, they hope that technology and research on congenital heart defects keep developing so Everly and other kids like her can lead long, healthy lives.
