Zoya was three when the spells began: moments when she would go breathless and her lips would turn a faint blue. Tests confirmed Tetralogy of Fallot, a combination of four heart problems present from birth.
Her corrective surgery was complex, and the days that followed were hard. Her parents stayed beside her through every one of them. A season later, Zoya was back in school, drawing pictures of the doctors who cared for her.
Her family keeps a page of her journey, from the hospital to her first day back in class.
