. Her family was forced to make a tough decision when her son was in desperate need of a liver transplant.
"I was just very fatigued, lethargic, I was jaundiced, my skin, my eyes were yellow. My legs were swollen," Zachary said. "I was definitely afraid. But I have to say too, I was more excited for the outcome, cause I knew that it was going to give Zachary a second chance in life," she said. "The liver is remarkable. It will grow to the size that he needs and the size that she needs," said Dr. Sandy Florman, director of the Transplantation Institute at Mount Sinai."Zachary should be able to live his entire life with this piece of liver. People who have transplants go on to do literally anything you can imagine," Florman said.
