On top of everything else, Bowen is shedding light on HLHS in a new documentary called \"Bowen's Heart,\" which follows his journey and his dream of recording his first album.

\"Maybe he will have til he's 30, you know, maybe he'll live til he's 40. And now I'm starting to go maybe he will get married,\" said Bowen's mom, Sarah Hammitt. \"I didn't ever think those things would happen. And now I'm starting to let my heart believe they could.\"

Surprise! @skaijackson recorded a surprise message for 10-year-old @bowensheart. His parents didn’t know how long he’d survive after being born with a rare heart disorder and undergoing three open-heart surgeries but he's doing well and excited for what's next.
