BEL AIR, MD — It was a special moment for a Harford County teen this week, 19 years in the making. Macey Breitenback was released from the Holtz Children's Hospital in Miami and is finally going home to Bel Air. WJZ first introduced you to the teen four years ago, and then again last month as she underwent life-saving surgery. Breitenback was born with a rare disease called visceral myopathy, a smooth muscle disorder that affects all of her organs. She was given only one week to live. Now, 19 years later, this is a moment her family never thought would come. Read more from CBS Baltimore.
