Arden's Fight

Local Girl Gets Groundbreaking Heart Surgery

The heart of a champion. It's a phrase common in sports, but it could also apply to a young girl from Bethlehem. Arden Ashford has overcome a rare heart defect and is now hoping to help others with similar problems. WFMZ's Bo Koltnow reports.

May 2010 - Arden had her three year follow-up in Boston. The doctors can't believed how well she is doing. Her stress test score showed that she preformed at 110% of the normal population! Her heart has adjusted well to her growing into a young adult. The long term prognosis looks very bright for her.
