‘I’m so happy!’: Touching vid shows teen’s relief after heart transplant

When 15-year-old Trevor Sullivan opened his eyes for the first time after receiving a brand new heart, the relief and excitement on his face was palpable. 

How do we know? 

Because Trevor's dad caught the emotional moment on camera and the 42-second video has now gone viral all over the world. 

Trevor first became ill in 2014, before suffering heart failure in early 2015. 

The Michigan teen waited a year for his turn to be given a suitable new heart and despite the considerable risks, he came out the other end happy and healthy. 

"I'm so happy," says a very emotional Trevor in the clip. "I've been waiting so long. I can breath again."

The family released the video to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and this touching moment will most definitely have an impact.
