As #DonateLifeMonth continues, we want to share Mabelโ€™s story and the life-changing impact of a living donor liver transplant. At one month old, Mabel was diagnosed with biliary atresia โ€“ a serious liver disorder that occurs when a baby's bile ducts become blocked - and faced serious complications that required surgery. As her symptoms worsened and hospitalizations became more frequent, the decision was made to list her for a liver transplant. In collaboration with PennMedicine's Center for Living Donations, Mabel's dad became her living donor, donating a portion of his liver to save her life. Now 15 months old, Mabel is doing well and enjoys being surrounded by her family, with her older siblings cheering her on every step of the way! ๐Ÿ’™ Learn more about our Tranplant Center at the ๐Ÿ”— in our bio.
