POTTSVILLE, Pa. -- It was hard enough for Karen Corby to hear that her autistic son would
need a heart transplant to survive, but it was even harder to take the
news that doctors wouldn't give him one.
"I was numb at first," Corby, of Pottsville, Pa., told ABCNews.com,
remembering the phone call from Paul's cardiologist when she found out
he wouldn't be placed on the transplant list. "Before she hung up, she
told me to have a nice day."
Her son Paul, 23, has a left ventricle that didn't close after he was
born, so his heart doesn't pump the right amount of blood. The Corbys
found out in 2008, and were told it was time for a transplant in 2011.
