The Dream Catcher <<---St. Louis channel 5 News
11 families has had the Dream Catcher
The dream catcher has become legendary at the Heart Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital. What began as an art project for one little girl awaiting a heart transplant has now become a good luck charm handed from patient-to-patient waiting for new hearts. Many believe it brings a new heart faster.
The average wait for a heart transplant can be 4-6 weeks. It can also take several months. When a young girl who'd waited months for her heart finally got transplanted just days after hanging this Native American dream catcher, a legend was born. She passed it along to the next patient, who passed it to the next patient, and so on. Each child adds his or her own tiny hand-made heart to the bottom of the dream catcher. Today, eleven hearts hang from the bottom of the catcher, representing the eleven children and their families brought closer together through heart transplantation. Many believe the dream catcher brings good luck, or perhaps makes the new heart come faster. But all agree it creates an immeasurable bond between these families and proves that - medically and emotionally - St. Louis Children's Hospital is where the heart is.
