Girl Born With Beating Heart Outside of Her Chest Turns 14
November 9, 2023
Virsaviya Borun was born with a rare medical condition called pentalogy of Cantrell. The condition left her heart beating outside her chest only covered by a thin layer of skin. Over the years, Inside Edition has followed Borun’s story. Now, she's in eighth grade. Her mom says she's a miracle, but Borun sees things differently. “It's less of a miracle and more of my mother's love,” she says. Borun was told she may not live past 30 but her mom believes she will once again beat the odds.
