10-Day-Old Baby Needs Life Saving Transplant | Chicago Med

[@Prickly_Cactus_1993]

My best friend's life was recently saved after he received a double lung transplant, he was days away from death when he got the call. Both me, my friend and his family will never forget the person who donated their lungs to him and I hope they are in a better place now. Sign up to be an organ donor, it's an amazing gift, you're giving someone another chance.

This made me cry at the end, it was so beautiful that even though they lost their daughter and grandchild, they got to meet a baby that was saved because of it

[@zoegignac9032]

It made me cry as well.

[@mischievous732]

It's hard to fathom the pain that the grandparents in this situation must have been feeling. Losing a loved one is already one of the most difficult things we can go through, but to lose a child, and then have to make the excruciating decision of whether or not to donate their grandchild's organs must have been absolutely heartbreaking. The weight of that decision is immense, and it takes an incredible amount of courage and strength to make it. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to make that kind of decision

[@dmf1301]

I can’t even imagine. But I’d like to think that I would be strong enough to donate my baby’s organs after they passed away if they were viable. Baby organs must be so rare and hard to come by. 😢

[@annied1827]

​@dmf1301 I agree both my kids were very premature actually one was not too bad he was born at 31 weeks but my daughter was born at 26 weeks im a huge believer of organ donation and donated both their placentas, cord, cord blood and other tissues they use, I was asked about it when my son was born but I was the one to ask when my daughter was born they were so shocked as they had been told by 99% of parents no so they stopped asking which shocked me because it gets disposed of anyway so why would you throw away something that could save another child 😳 when I was told she had 12 hours to live she had died 3 times and been brought back by then and I said from day one if her organs can be used use them if she died, if she was to be in a wheelchair with zero quality of life with severe brain damage again switch her off and donate what they can, for me that was the easiest decision I had to make out of all of them. She was lucky, although she was given less than 5% chance of survival she made it they both did and are now adults. But for me to have those decisions already in place just in case were the easiest part of the whole experience, which I know sounds crazy considering what we were dealing with, lol. When you are in that situation you kinda go into auto pilot mode and you tend to just get on with what needs doing, maybe that was just me but other parents we did talk to before we quickly learnt you just don't talk to other parents they pretty much did and felt the same way and dealt with it the same way.

[@dmf1301]

@@annied1827 I imagine it's a really, really difficult situation to be in. People who are told that adults just passed away and asked to donate organs have a hard time processing that question, let alone BABIES! I don't know from experience, but it's not hard to imagine that it's got to be one of the toughest situations a person can possibly be in. You are so brave to have been able to manage that question about organ donation WHILST your baby was fighting a battle you believe that she would lose. That must have taken so much out of you. It's a great blessing that both of your children survived, though. I hope they're both on the organ register themselves, in case the worst happens. x

@@dmf1301 to be honest I didn't think I'd ever have kids I was told after my 4th or 5th misscarrige I'd never carry, it's all me I just can't carry because I don't produce enough hormone to keep baby in place infact I don't even produce enough to give me a positive pregnancy test result, 20 min before my son was born a male nurse said he had to do a test before having a c section I laughed and said good luck with that i don't produce enough hormone to do one he didn't belive me untill he did eight tests all negative, they decided to do a scan instead lol. However, I am highly fertile and get pregnant very easily. I've had 13 pregnancies all on contraception from the strongest pill in the market to the injection and implant all of the failed, I had my last one a few weeks ago as my implant wore out they are supposed to last 3 years but usually stop after two !! So I was always in the mindset that I'd never have a child and I'd lose them. I actually had to sign paperwork to give permission to treat my daughter because at 26 weeks she was classed as a misscarrige and they had to have my permission to try save her or they would have just left her to die thankfully the law has changed since then and they do automatically treat from 24 weeks now 😀 my son was born at 31 weeks and he was 3lb10oz my daughter born at 26 weeks was 1lb12oz with her we had a baby forever she was tiny as in wearing 12-18 month baby clothes at age 5 tiny !! Oh i have a funny story for you, at age 6 she got her 18 month baby teeth and her terrible twos, one day the teacher came out and asked yo talk to me I said omg what she done this time, a week before a stupid teacher gave her some scossoand you'd her to ho play hair dressers, well there was a little girl wuth the most beautiful hair you would ever see it was very long all the way down to below her knees, and my daughter did exactly what her teacher told her to and cut off one of her pigtails 😳🙈 thankfully her mum thought the same as me and told the teacher she was a idiot for telling my special needs daughter to go play hairdressers and forgave her. Anyway the teacher this day looked like hell she looked exhausted and stressed and said my daughter had been hell and acted like a monster I laughed and explained well she's hit her terrible twos and she's teething she asked me what do I do ?, my reply was well between 9am and 3pm she your problem and before and after that she's my problem she said is that it, is that all you have to say ? I just said oh and good luck with that !! Poor looked defeated, i have to say she really was a monster for a few weeks 🤣🤣. She was so very lucky as she had to be ventilated and of course the ventilator has many many side effects 4 a4 pages worth to be exact !! Well she came out with bith heart and lung damage which she outgrew by age 8, eye damage which means she wears glasses, if the damage was 3mm to the left she would have been blind, she had 6 brain hemorrhages causing mild learning difficulties and she is deaf, she has high tone deafness, so she came out the other side very very lucky especially as she had died 3 times !! My son is now 22 and is a tree surgeon and my daughter is now 20 and is doing drama in college 😀 she didn't think she would go to college as primary school couldn't be bothered with her and often sent her to play with the nursaty kids, she couldn't read even though the teachers kept saying she could untill I got a book and she read the page I then covered the pictures and she couldn't read it I showed her the picture then she read it. The problem was teachers read the book to her and she memorised it infact she memorised 16 books 📚 she left to go to high school at age 11 not been able to read cat but with the right support she learnt within a year the school was so proud of her they bought her a kindle and gave her £50 amazon voucher !!. She passed all her classes except maths she can't do it yet she keeps trying every year I've told her to give in but she won't lol. I remember her first week in high school she came home very upset and told me she had to learn the French alphabet that weekend I called the school and told them it may be better to teach her the English alphabet before even attempting to teaching her the French one they let her drp the class and did one on one with her teaching her to read and do maths which worked well and with the right support she can do anything she puts her mind to except maths but hey I can't do maths either as i have dyscalculia she's better at maths than I am so that's a plus to me 😀

The universe is so twisted, between the two parents they saved 12 lives, but it took the death of an entire family to save one child

[@ansal847]

Awh man, this clip actually made me cry. its such a beautiful moment for both families. If it was a real case i wonder if the parents would let the grandparents stick around as honorary grandparents if they wanted to.

the grand parents made an impossible decision. It is hard to decide in a way that is more unpleasant for yourself but would fullfill the idea of the person you are deciding for.

I hope those grandparents get visitation rights. It's at least that they can do

[@alessaross3559]

What? Why? They aren't the grandparents. The parents owe them nothing, but gratitude.

[@Az1anlol]

that doesnt make sense, since the organ receiver isnt actually related to the grandparents so they wouldnt have any right anything to do with the child

[@KMDragonS]

@@Az1anlol it would just make them feel better just wanting to play the role of grandparents. They lost their kid and their grandkids the same day you could at least show them a little courtesy

[@Az1anlol]

@@KMDragonS i see where you're coming from, but in the end the fact of the matter still stands that the grandparents still dont have any rights to act as the child's grandparents because they arent related via any means

[@shannonsmith4174]

This was great but in real life this would never happen not enough babies die..... why can't they use adults organs but cut it down to size i hope the grand parents sue the horrible person that killed 3 people..

[@Az1anlol]

you cant cut down organs to size, excluding length, thats not organ transplantation works

[@missarilou]

Lmao what?

[@jamsaidemelo1367]

It's not how it works Sadly. Liver has more options since it can grow amd regenerate but you can't do this with other organ. It's also a lack of donor.

[@samanthagibson5791]

You might think organs like intestines could be cut shorter, but the size increases both lenght and diameter as you grow. You could cut adult ones down, but they'd be too wide. This is the case with pretty much every organ. As a recipient gets older, the issue gets better so children can take more adult organs, but babies don't have that option Also added after I realised I forgot. Cut adult organs wouldnt re-grow to adult size again so if it did work they would need another transplant when older as the first one would be too small.
