A teen living with a heart defect just received a life-saving Christmas gift with a heart and kidney transplant.
In 2018, doctors told Withrow her son would need a transplant for both. The news was frightening to the mother of two.Marquis Davis underwent the surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio, on Dec. 2."I've been through it the first time -- this time, I was like, 'Ok, we got this. We are going to be on the list no matter how long it takes,'" Withrow said, adding that Marquis waited for this heart and a new kidney for 1 year and 4 months.
"Combined transplantation of both the heart and kidney in children is not common -- less than 50 done to date," Chin said."Based on limited information in the scientific literature, he now has the best chance for long term survival." Mom Sherri Withrow of Lexington, Kentucky, talks about her son, Marquis Davis, 17, who received a life-saving Christmas gift with a heart and kidney transplant.Withrow said she would soon write a letter to the anonymous donor or donors who gave her son a second chance at life.On Dec. 2, Marquis Davis underwent heart and kidney transplant surgery at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in Ohio.
