Kori was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Her first heart transplant in March 2018 was rejected and after a painful operation in January this year her body rejected her second heart.
It was decided, after discussions with his family and the medical team, that Kori would not move on with another.
Kori’s mum, Kerrylee, said: ‘We make the most of the time we have left by not going to school – bonus – not really doing housework, living in our pajamas and just us really boring.
“We are just focused on making life as enjoyable as possible and having as much fun as possible when we can. »
