A Parade, a Tuxedo, and a New Heart: Wyatt Goes Home After 351 Days

NEW YORK, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, 2-year-old Wyatt Lopez of Warwick, New York, is home, growing, playing and thriving with a new heart. Just months earlier, dressed in a tiny tuxedo, he paraded through cheering hospital hallways after spending 351 days in the Congenital Cardiovascular Care Unit (CCVCU) at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone. Much of that time was spent waiting for a new heart, followed by weeks recovering from the transplant that saved his life.
