Baby Receives Liver Transplant from St. Louis Children's Hospital After Double Listing

Paula and Mark Postudensek say double-listing in both Minnesota and Missouri helped their 1-year-old baby Anthony get a life-saving liver transplant. Anthony was born with biliary atresia, a problem with his liver's bile ducts that became severe enough to need a liver transplant. After waiting for months in Minnesota, Anthony's parents brought him to St. Louis Children's Hospital where he successfully received a liver transplantation weeks later. Now he's growing, thriving and doing great! For more information on liver transplants visit St. Louis Children's Hospital at http://www.stlouischildrens.org/content/medservices/LiverCareCenter.htm

I was very touched by your video. My niece is Jessica, the lung transplant survival story on this web site. She has her transplant in 1996 and has done wonderfully. We found thing at Barnes just as you describe back then too. It is a wonderful hospital and good to know their standard of care is still the same now as then. I am so Happy for Anthony and your family. He is a cutie and I know God has blessed your lives as he did ours. Thanks for posting you story. Brenda
