<\/p>\nDespite struggling with severe cardiomyopathy and a recent heart failure diagnosis, Sienna Stewart managed to walk across the stage to receive her diploma, a moment her family will forever cherish.<\/p>\n
On her graduation day, Sienna suddenly collapsed and lost consciousness. Paramedics arrived quickly, and once she regained consciousness, she tearfully insisted on completing her walk across the stage. Sienna had received a heart transplant ten years ago and lived with severe cardiomyopathy since the age of four. Earlier this year, she began \u201cgetting sick\u201d and \u201cgetting weak and slowing down.\u201d Her mom, Saevon Chum, revealed that Sienna sometimes experienced episodes where she collapsed, including on her graduation day.<\/p>\n

She had had another episode. But this was the first time she collapsed unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll she could tell me is, \u2018I just want to graduate, I want to walk,\u2019\u201d Saevon explained. Sadly, a few weeks after graduating high school, Sienna passed away. \u201cTill the end, I was proud,\u201d Saevon said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
