Let's flood him with Christmas cards to read while he waits for a heart transplant!

BOSTON - A 6-year-old Worcester boy waiting for a heart transplant is asking people to send him Christmas cards as he spends another holiday in the hospital.

Carlos Rolon was born with an unbalanced atrioventricular canal defect – an abnormality of one of the four chambers of his heart. By the age of two, he had had four heart surgeries.

On Aug. 31, Carlos was admitted to Boston Children’s Hospital with an infection. Doctors told his mother, Sheena Cossette, that her son wouldn’t be able to go home until he got a new heart.

Wednesday marked the 94th day Carlos has been in the hospital. While he stays upbeat dancing and playing video games in his room, he’s beginning to realize he is going to spend his favorite holiday, Christmas, away from home.

“He sees a lot of the kids come and go, and he’s starting to question when he’s going to get to go, and we tell him when he gets a new heart,” Cossette told Boston 25 News outside Children’s Hospital Wednesday night. “But with the holidays coming, we’re trying to make it as best as we can here.”

Carlos and his mom came up with an idea to help cheer him up over the holiday. Cossette posted a video on Facebook of Carlos asking for people to send him Christmas cards.
