Liver TransplantationUpworthy

Baby Sonny was born with biliary atresia , a rare condition that blocks bile ducts in the liver.
He was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease and needed a liver transplant.
Sandy Flash donated a portion of her liver to Sonny , a child she'd never met.
The two families met for the first time at Cleveland Clinic in July 2024 .
Living organ donation provides a unique opportunity to save a life, often with better outcomes than transplants from deceased donors.
Up to two-thirds of the liver can be safely removed as long as the tissue is healthy and able to regenerate.
The portion of the transplanted will grow with the child’s body.
