It’s hard for any mother to keep up with a two-year-old child; it was especially hard for Charli Noyes. Charli’s pulmonary heart valve wasn’t working right, robbing her of the energy needed to match strides with her child. Charli’s problem started at birth – she had already had two open heart surgeries to help fix her problem, both of which involved a long incision in her chest and long weeks of recovery. New technology and skilled experts at Primary Children’s Medical Center were able to replace Charli’s pulmonary valve using a tiny catheter through a very small incision in her leg. Charli’s recovery took a few days, not weeks, meaning she is able to be an energetic mother of a two-year-old again.
