Child Needs Liver Transplant Plea to Doctors
Jamie Fiske an 11 month old from Minnesota faces death within a month without a donated liver. Her father Charles appeals to 400 physicians at an American Academy of Pediatrics meeting to help locate a donor. Jamie's jaundice eased only with disease in her liver. She was born Thanksgiving Day and has biliary atresia. Doctors note few liver donors exist and success rates for pediatric liver transplants remain 30 to 50 percent, improving with reduced rejection.
