Crystal's Medical Condition
Crystal Houser suffered from a progressive congenital condition known as Eisenmenger's Syndrome, a cardiopulmonary disease caused by an abnormal opening in the heart. In severe cases, the best treatment option is heart-lung transplant. Crystal lived her short life with passion and joy, and with the full knowledge that at some point, a stranger's generosity would give her the best chance at a normal life by donating her a new heart and lungs. When Crystal finally received her transplant in the Spring of 2004, she was able to enjoy a long walk for the first time in many years. Sadly, Crystal succumbed to a complication only months after the surgery she had anticipated for so long.
Although Crystal is gone, her generous, creative, joyful, and courageous spirit lives on, not only in the memories of her friends and family, but also through the three lives her own organ donations so profoundly affected.
