This Mother's Day, one San Diego mom would love nothing more than to find a liver transplant for her baby. “She 100% needs a liver to safe her life,” says mom Misty Alvarez.
It resulted in baby Esme’s first surgery at just 4 months old.
“I'm constantly in and out of the hospital,” said Alvarez. “We spent seven weeks straight, just her and I, in the hospital. I only see the babies once or twice a week. And then every time we go in and out, they’re not allowed to visit.” The fraternal triplets are living very different lives. Salvador Jr. and Everlynn are both showing early signs of cerebral palsy while their sister Esme is in desperate need of a liver transplant. “I have to for her, for my other ones,” said Alvarez. “I have my moments but you have to be strong, you have to be her voice. You have to advocate for her.”“She 100% needs a liver to safe her life,” said Alvarez.
The ideal candidate would be 18 to 40 years old with type B or O blood — but they have yet to be found. Meanwhile, the family is doing what they can to make Esme feel as comfortable as possible, which isn't hard because, despite her condition, Esme is full of life and energy.Esme is a strong, resilient baby fighting for a chance to survive.This article tagged under:
