See Why This Selfless Mum Refused Life-saving Kidney Donation From Husband
A selfless mum, Amanda Littlewood, 38, who has suffered with polycystic kidney disease all her adult life has refused her husband’s life-saving offer to donate one of his kidneys in order to save her son’s life.
According to Mirror UK, the life-saving procedure has been put on hold after the family got the devastating news that their eight-year-old son, Zac, may need the surgery.
The tragic development wasn’t a total surprise as the family have a long history with the inherited killer disease.
“I got diagnosed when I was 18,” said Amanda. “But my mum, my brother and my grandma already had it. My mum got a transplant about five years ago and my brother had one last year. My husband was all set to donate one of his kidneys to me but then we found out our youngest Zac needed it. I said to him, hold off and see if Zac can have it.”
Amanda’s two other children, nine-year-old Millie and 18-year-old Cathan have had no problems so far but are yet to get the all clear from doctors.
But Zac is struggling and urgently needs the transplant.
The poorly youngster’s problems are all the worse as he also suffers with epilepsy.
Awwwwww super woman. Your children first before any other thing.
May God heal Zac.
