BAY CITY, MI-Just 12 years old, Aaron Bovia of Bay City recently underwent a heart transplant. He’s now recovering, with the help and support of many members of this tight-knit Michigan community.
“It’s been quite a whirlwind, because it really wasn’t expected,” said Earl Bovia, Aaron’s father. “Well, it was and it wasn’t.” He explained that while Aaron has had heart issues since he was born, a complete heart transplant wasn’t on their radar. “It just got dropped on us one day.”
