Twins Need Liver Transplants; But Dad Can Only Donate to One
Quote:
It’s a terrible choice no parent should have to make: The father of 3-year-old twin girls in desperate need of liver transplants can only donate to one, so the family has launched a Facebook campaign to find a second donor before time runs out.
In November 2012, Michael and Johanne Wagner of Ontario, Canada adopted twins named Binh and Phuoc, then 18-months-old, from an orphanage in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both girls were born with a genetic disorder called Alagille Syndrome, which prevents the liver from secreting bile. Due to malnourishment, the twins weighed only nine pounds each when the Wagners took them into their family, which included five biological and two adopted children from Vietnam.
I really really hope they'll find a donor in time.
