Remembering Sienna Stewart: A Brave Graduate’s Journey
|Sienna Stewart, an exceptional eighteen-year-old student at Hiram High School, vanished shortly after an amazing moment at her graduation ceremony on May 23.Sienna was recently diagnosed with heart failure following her battle with severe cardiomyopathy.
Despite her health concerns, her family will always cherish the moment she overcame to graduate and walk across the stage.
That was a big day since Sienna passed out out of the blue. Thankfully, paramedics arrived swiftly to provide assistance. When she regained consciousness, she cried and insisted on finishing her walk across the stage.
The trip Sienna had taken had been marked by resilience. After receiving a life-saving heart transplant when she was four years old, her life was essentially normal for the following ten years. However, earlier this year she began to decline and weaken.
Sienna’s mother, Saevon Chum, disclosed that her daughter occasionally had spells of collapse, and unfortunately, it happened on her graduation day. As Sienna was falling, the high school principal could be heard pleading for everyone’s patience.
In an interview with Fox5Atlanta, Sienna’s mother claimed that “the ambulance was already there when I got there.” She was unconscious. She had gone through another ordeal. That being said, this was the first time she fainted.
