Jordan was diagnosed with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency when he was just two months old. His liver was already terribly damaged and he was listed for a transplant almost  immediately. Six months later Jordan and his family got the call. Jordan received his liver transplant at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in June 1996.
