Let's make this Valentine's Day more heartful

Meet @rxtakeheart's dad who is diagnosed with Cardiac Amyloidosis, a rare heart condition.

🫀Amyloidosis is a rare disease that occurs when an abnormal protein, called amyloid, builds up in your organs and interferes with their normal function.

🫀Amyloid isn't normally found in the body, but it can be formed from several different types of protein

🫀Organs that may be affected include the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system and digestive tract.⁠

 

 

@rxtakeheart's dad was diagnosed with Cardiac Amyloidosis in 2020 and has gone through a lot a series of cardiac procedures in the hopes of preventing more protein deposits on his heart.

As of today, he is not yet a candidate for a transplant but we are hoping that by sharing his story we could spread the news and create big impact on his life. 

He remains strong and optimistic despite amyloidosis and he keeps fighting and spends precious time with family and loved ones.⁠

We're here for @rxtakeheart's dad and family, thank you so much for sharing your story, we are sending you all our love and good vibes that you will get the transplant you need soon.🫀⁠

There’s no better way to say I love you. Spread a little joy with our Nerdbugs Heart Organ Plushie and leave a forever smile on their faces.
