Girl recovers at home after groundbreaking multiorgan transplant
A 9-year-old Maine girl returns home to Hollis after a record six organ transplants at Children’s Hospital Boston. She received a stomach, liver, spleen, small intestine, pancreas, and part of an esophagus to treat an inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. Doctors warned of risks, with a 50 percent survival chance, yet she thrives at home with nine daily medications and an ostomy pouch.
