Lisa Swanson met Terry Hooper, the recipient of her son’s heart, and heard it beat for the first time in three years. The pair met at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Swanson’s son, Levi Schulz, was 18 when he was killed in a car accident in December 2012. Levi was kept on life support in order to preserve his organs for donation.
