Because of her condition, Amy Donegan’s doctors have recommended a transplant from a living donor. None of her kids are a match for her, so the family is hoping a kind stranger raises their hand. via robharristv
DENVER — Amy Donegan certainly isn’t one to brag about her painting skills. As she puts it, her projects are “paint by numbers” for adults.
Two years ago, Amy was diagnosed with nodular regenerative hyperplasia — a rare, incurable disease that affects blood flow through the liver. Signals of the disease initially showed up in blood work during a routine exam, with no other symptoms present. At the time of her diagnosis, doctors gave her about five years to live.
“I felt like, there’s something we can do,” her husband, Bob Donegan said. “When the doctor said a liver transplant was an option, we got going on that. We’re now working hard to find a liver donor.” According to Dr. Burton, the first successful liver transplant was performed at the University of Colorado in 1967, and the first successful living donor liver transplant between adults was performed at the university in 1997. Following a living donor transplantation, Dr. Burton said the livers of both the donor and the recipient reach about 90 percent of normal volume within about a month.“My goal is that all her liver complications will disappear,” Dr. Burton said.
