Liam

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sharon Morgan, we live in Auckland, New Zealand.

In July 2005 my son Liam (age 3 and a half at the time) got a mystery viral infection. Within weeks the infection attacked and killed Liam's liver (Acute Liver Failure).

Although Liam was placed to the top of the List for a deceased donor liver in New Zealand and Australia no suitable donors had been found.

After 12 days of waiting and my son was in a coma and close to death.

Thanks to a family friend (Our Hero) who was compatible to Liam and passed all the tests, the Liver Transplant went ahead the very next morning, Liam needed 30% of our Donors Liver.

Within days my son was off Life support and on the way to a full recovery (22.08.05) He has had no complications at all.

I thank God everyday and of course our living Donor for giving us back Liam's life.
