Dianny had already had 4 episodes of heavy bleeding, she could have died of bleeding of the esophageal varices she had or due to her liver which was already completely cirrhotic.
The best thing I could do as her mother, who gave her life, was to improve hers. I wasn’t able to do this before. She was born with this problem, and as her mother I was able to cure her by giving her a piece of my liver. Now she is perfect.
After having it done I felt a lot better, and I´ve always felt normal since. I was always afraid of the transplant, I didn´t know how I would respond or what was going to happen and after having it done I felt a lot better, and I´ve always felt normal since, I have not had any issues.
I invite everyone who can be a donor to not be afraid.
At the beginning before the surgery I was really afraid even though I had read a lot about it. For me it's a big emotion to give life to another life. I invite everyone who can be a donor to not be afraid.
