The community mourns over the heartbreaking loss of 18 -year -old Sienna Stewart, who tragically died only a few weeks after collapse during her graduation in high school.
According to reports, Sienna was diagnosed with heart failure in April, ten years after receiving heart transplantation. Since the age of four, she has fought heavy cardiomyopathy and began to enjoy health problems at the beginning of this year.
For ten years, transplantation gave her a chance for a relatively normal life, but in recent months she began to feel weaker and slow down. Her mother Saevon Chum shared that Sienna had experienced episodes of collapse, one of which appeared on Thursday 23 May 2024 during her graduation.
The video released by Hiram High School captured the director who addressed the audience and said, “Just give us a second, please. We have a student…”
Before Saevon arrived on the scene, the rescuers already tend to her daughter. “When I got there, the ambulance was there,” she remembered. “She collapsed again. But that was the first time she lost consciousness.”
Despite the frightened Sienna, she regained consciousness a few minutes later and insisted that he took part in the ceremony instead of this.
“The only thing she said was,” I just want to graduate. I want to walk. “That’s all she wanted because she had already missed her older ball when she was in the hospital,” her mother explained.
Tragically, only a few weeks later, 12 June, Sienna died.
“As a mother, you can’t help but feel proud because she fought through something so difficult. I was proud until the end,” Saevon said.
According to her obituar Sienna, she planned to attend college in the autumn to study sonography.
Rest in peace, Sienna Stewart.
