“All I Could Do Was Cry”: A Mother’s Plea for a Transplant to Save Her Baby’s Life !n


When we see stories like Kasen’s, we are reminded that reality is undoubtedly different for each person and that miracles exist, even though sometimes it is hard for us to see them.

Kasen from Syracuse is only one year old, and at such a young age, he has shown that he is a true warrior. He was born with liver problems due to a rare disease.

Since birth, he has spent a large part of his life in the hospital.

The baby was born on January 14, 2020, in New York, with a weight considered healthy. A few days after birth, doctors noticed that he had breathing difficulties. They thought he would improve over time, but his diagnosis only worsened.


After conducting various tests, he was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a condition that blocks the bile ducts inside and around the liver.

A liver transplant was necessary to save the baby’s life.

Due to his fragile health condition, Kasen underwent emergency surgery. Although the baby survived the operation, a liver transplant was needed to ensure a future for little Kasen; otherwise, he would not live for long.

Mitayah Donerlson, the child’s mother, could only patiently wait after including her baby on the waiting list.

The mother had faith that a donor would appear.

The distressed mother knew that finding a donor would not be easy, but she never lost hope. That beautiful feeling that sustains us in the most difficult moments.

In addition to this, Mitayah felt that her world was falling apart when she found out that several family members had tested positive for COVID-19. Unfortunately, Kasen also became infected.

Kasen was called “The Miracle Baby.”

The child’s

worsened with each passing day. For three days, he was hospitalized, but luckily, he had the support of the best team of doctors who managed to fight the virus.

Gradually, everything started to improve. After two weeks of recovering from COVID-19, the mother received the best news of her life: a donor had been found for Kasen.

“All I could do was cry. They were tears of a mother and tears of joy. I was so happy. I always knew he would receive a transplant; that was my faith. But finally receiving that call and that message saying that the surgery was scheduled and the burden on my shoulders would disappear, I felt so good,” said Mitayah.

After the surgery, little Kasen evolved satisfactorily. The expression on his face had completely changed, and his yellowish eyes were a thing of the past. Even his attitude began to change; he had the characteristic energy of a child his age.

Kasen has practically not left the hospital since birth. He recently celebrated his first birthday in the intensive care unit. As a special patient, he was able to celebrate with his mother and all the staff who have closely followed his challenging and victorious journey throughout this year of life.

Amid balloons and smiles, Kasen celebrated his first birthday.

The road for Kasen has not been easy, and for safety reasons, he will remain in the hospital, knowing the risks he faces if he gets infected with the virus again.

This beautiful little angel has a great future ahead. He now smiles tenderly as his mother eagerly watches him grow up healthy and strong.
