Connor, age 3, was born premature and needed surgery to correct reflux at 5 weeks old. He developed scar tissue 2 months later that caused an obstructed bowel and then needed much of his small bowel removed. He experienced many complications after this second surgery and soon developed TPN induced liver damage that was irreversible. At 10 months of age Connor received a liver transplant. His mom writes that he may not have lived if he'd had to wait for a donated liver. His parents' blood types were not compatible with his, so his maternal aunt became his liver donor. He has done very well since his transplant.  Fortunately, he has had no signs of rejection, although he has had difficulty with the short gut syndrome. He loves being with other children and is a very happy child.
