Bowen was born in 2010 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome — a rare disorder in which the left side of the heart is dangerously underdeveloped. “I remember getting him thinking I have to hold this child like it might be the last time I ever hold him,” Bowen’s dad, Matt Hammitt, told “Good Morning America.”
