Can you take a bullet for your
own blood? Well this devoted dad has donated a kidney to his toddler daughter
to save her life.
37yrs old Lee Chester made the brave
decision after his 3-year-old daughter Esme’s kidney suddenly failed and she
suffered a stroke. At just 3? Serious matter!
Now, he and the little girl are
recovering in hospitals and are both doing ‘really well’, the Manchester
Evening News reports. Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Chester said:
“We are both doing really well. I’m
so glad it’s gone well for Esme. She’s eating mashed potato in bed. I’m quite
sore so I’ll have to milk it at home for a bit. It really does show the
importance of opting in for organ donation. It really does save lives.”
On donating his own kidney, he
added: “This is something [I believe] that any parent would do…”
Father and daughter before the health crisis.
Doctors are still trying to find out
what caused Esme’s kidneys to suddenly fail and why she suffered a potentially-deadly
stroke.
