PAUL FOUND A LIVER – Here is a story about selflessness. I posted a few weeks ago about Paul. Paul lives in the Chicago area, a retired superintendent of schools. Paul has PSC, a rare liver disease. For various reasons, those with PSC generally are not eligible for a cadaver liver transplant. Usually, those with PSC die within a few years. The only cure for PSC is a liver transplant, and since he doesn’t qualify for a cadaver liver that means someone must volunteer to be a living transplant. With the liver, you can donate 60% of your liver and it grows back over a matter of a few short weeks. It is the only organ in the body that regenerates. Imagine, a good Samaritan giving up part of their liver for someone else! Well, it’s happening for Paul. A high school friend of Paul’s daughter decided that this is something she just had to do. And it’s happening tomorrow at Northwestern. They both go under the knife and 60% of the donor liver goes into to Paul.
