MADISON (WKOW) — A Madison child has new life after a liver transplant whereas she was simply 7 months outdated.

Ila, is Dana Hellgren and Jadon Scullion’s first and solely youngster.

“She has tons extra power than she’s ever had and she or he’s a cheerful child,” her mom mentioned.

Now 9-months-old, that bubbly persona all the time attracts buddies at American Household Kids’s Hospital, particularly after the variety of instances she’s been by these halls.

“There’s all the time going to be one thing out of your management as a guardian, and ours was type of a whopper,” Hellgren mentioned.

Child Ila’s issues started shortly after her beginning.

“When she was three weeks outdated, she was struggling to realize weight. She was born at 36 weeks and was actually small to start with,” Hellgren mentioned. “She was down within the 4 pound vary once we began actually getting fearful about what was occurring.”

Her pediatric hepatologist, Dr. Katryn Furuya, defined she was affected by a uncommon situation known as biliary atresia. That meant there was a blockage in Ila’s liver inflicting her bile to buildup.

“It was clear at about 5 months of age that taking a look at Ila’s blood exams that her liver was beginning to fail,” she mentioned.

Ila’s pores and skin was turning yellow as her liver acquired worse and worse.

Ila at six months affected by jaundice.

“When this stuff begin to occur, we all know that these kids normally is not going to survive previous a yr of age if we do not consider them and record them for a liver transplant,” Furuya mentioned.

Ila’s surgeon, Dr. D’Alessandro, mentioned the toddler could not wait very lengthy, particularly contemplating deceased donor livers for kids are so uncommon.

“It might be months generally earlier than one turns into accessible and in Ila’s case, that may have been too late,” he mentioned.

He mentioned her finest wager was a residing donor, however even that may carry its personal challenges.

“We’d have favored to have her develop just a little bit larger,” D’Alessandro mentioned. “Technically she solely weighed about 10 kilos.”

That meant the surgical procedure itself can be tough but additionally that discovering a residing match would show problematic as nicely.

“Jadon was really the primary individual to be examined to be a residing donor and total he was really a match however too huge, simply too huge,” Hellgren mentioned. “She was going to should develop to twice the dimensions she was on the time for his liver to work for her.”

Nonetheless trying to find a match, Hellgren and her husband requested their prolonged family and friends, ultimately reaching out on social media to see if strangers may get examined.

In two months, seven potential donors have been examined. None of them have been matches.

“I began feeling just a little extra determined once I acquired examined and I wasn’t a match both,” Hellgren mentioned.

The couple continued to hunt donors, getting increasingly more anxious because the weeks handed.

Till one night time.

“Christmas night time really, we have been in Iowa visiting my household. I believe it was 12:15 a.m. technically on the 26th,” Hellgren mentioned. “They mentioned a deceased donor turned accessible.”

For Ila, it was nice information, however Hellgren and Scullion knew it got here at a value.

“When she mentioned age and dimension acceptable that is when it actually type of hit arduous that some household had misplaced their youngster on Christmas Day and one way or the other in that second discovered the power to offer us hope for Ila,” Hellgren mentioned.

The household rushed Ila again to College Hospital and she or he went in for surgical procedure the subsequent morning.

“We walked her to the surgical procedure doorways, the working room doorways and handed her over and 14 hours later we noticed her once more,” Hellgren mentioned.

Ila weeks after surgical procedure.

By then, Ila was a brand new woman.

“As quickly as she was recovered you already know every week or so after surgical procedure, it was very obvious her persona was beginning to shine by,” she mentioned.

Months into her restoration, Ila is spending much less and fewer time on the hospital, although her mother and father say she’ll all the time be residing with the influence of her illness.

“She must take immunosuppression medicines for the remainder of her life which suggests she’s far more inclined to issues just like the frequent chilly or flu,” Hellgren mentioned.

Nonetheless, her medical doctors mentioned, if all goes nicely, and she or he continues to take her remedy, she might by no means want one other transplant. Although, her mother and father say they will by no means cease worrying.

“Generally as mother and father we need to maintain her in a bubble however we all know that she clearly has the power to be on the market,” Hellgren mentioned.

For now, they’re grateful for Ila’s second probability to develop up, particularly realizing it meant one other household needed to make an unimaginable sacrifice.

“The phrases ‘thanks’ simply aren’t sufficient to thank somebody who made that call in such a darkish second to avoid wasting your kid’s life,” Hellgren mentioned. “To another household, it is every thing.”

In the USA there are greater than 112,000 individuals ready for organ transplants, 2,000 are kids.

Few organ recipients are as younger as Ila, however she was one in every of two kids below one-year-old to obtain a transplant in Wisconsin in 2019.

With 1000’s left ready, Ila’s mother and father need her story to encourage others. They ask each household to speak about what they’d do, in the event that they have been requested to donate a cherished one’s organ, even from a baby.

They hope if a household ever has to make the choice, that dialog will make the second just a little simpler.
