I’m happy to report that my friend’s two-year-old daughter, whose kidney transplant from her father went horribly wrong when the kidney was damaged during surgery, received a healthy kidney from a deceased donor last week.  The toddler is doing great; her medical team says they’ve never seen a deceased donor kidney do so well.

The sad part of this story is that the kidney is from a nine-year-old child who obviously lost her life.  This child and his or her family have given an amazing gift by donating these organs.
