News, Parents save son by each giving him a lung (boy, mother)

[JD59]

A boy with cystic fibrosis is starting a new life after German doctors performed the country’s first double living lung transplant, giving him a lung from each of his mother and father.

Twelve-year-old Marius waited in vain for a donor as he struggled to breathe and his quality of life declined.

“We were desperately waiting for an organ, waiting for a call every day,” his father Lars said.

I sure do hope that his new lungs work well for him....nothing can compare to the love that a parent can have for his/her child.
