Baby Receives Rare Lifeline After Being Put on Transplant List

Daniel McCabe wasn’t going to last very long if he didn’t find a liver donor fast.

This 4-month-old was given months to live due to a rare liver disease that was destroying his whole body. Daniel’s skin had a yellowy hue and his organ had reportedly turned into “scar tissue the consistency of wood”.

The average person usually ends up waiting 86 days for an organ transplant, leading to thousands of child deaths. Little Daniel, however, only had to wait 40 minutes before they found a donor.

Thanks to a 30-year-old man who had recently passed away, Daniel was taken into surgery the next day. According to his parents, he’s healing wonderfully.
