Five-year-old Poppy underwent a second kidney transplant in May and left hospital 12 days later.
A Hartlepool girl, who was previously hooked up to a dialysis machine for 10 hours every night, is enjoying life with her new kidney nicknamed 'George'.An initial transplant was not wholly successful, meaning Poppy had to resume dialysis, but second time round she was out of hospital 12 days after surgery.
Dad - Gavin Lancaster - described the life-changing impact of organ donation, calling the transformation "amazing". "Thanks to Poppy's organ donor, she already has a completely different, and better, life - and because of that, so does the rest of the family," Mr Lancaster said.Image source,The family was told Poppy, who has a twin sister, Violet, would need a transplant after she was diagnosed with kidney disease in May 2019."The GP had sent Poppy for allergy tests. They happened to put a kidney-function test in with her bloods.
Her father was told Poppy's kidneys had not formed properly and were only a quarter of the size they should have been. Although an initial organ donation did not work as well as hoped, the youngster still managed to spend 14 months dialysis-free before a match was found for a second transplant.Since the operation, Poppy has decided to name her new kidney 'George' - a decision that has baffled her parents."When I asked her, she just said, 'Because it's his name, Dad!' She's so funny.
