About Me
- Angel's Wings
- Nick and Sarah brought Angel home at age 3 as a very medically fragile child. They gave him 2 years prognosis. He was born weighing 1lb 7oz and they took out most of his small intestines. Because of this, he has been dependent on IV nutrition (called TPN) since birth. There are two things that have threatened his life in the last 5 years: 1) A line infection resulting in sepsis in the Central Line placed in his heart to infuse the TPN and 2) Liver failure as a result of the liver doing the job never intended of assimilating all the nutrients from the blood stream. After 5 wonderful years of doing better than anyone imagine and having a "normal" life his liver began to decline steadily. He was placed on a liver, bowel, and pancreas transplant list. He was listed 7/7/08 and received organs on 7/20/08. This type of transplant is very precarious and has the lowest success rate of most transplants. But Angel is a superhero and already doing better than anyone expected or has seen in most cases. Thank you for sharing in their journey.
