Banner's Journey Home

  • 👶 Banner Frum, a 3-month-old baby, is going home after a life-saving liver transplant.
  • 🎁 This homecoming is especially meaningful as it occurs just in time for Mother's Day.

A Rare and Complex Procedure

  • 🔬 Banner's liver transplant is exceptionally rare, with fewer than 20 such cases documented in the US out of approximately 20,000 pediatric liver transplants.
  • 👨‍⚕️ Dr. Kambiz Etesami of Children's Hospital Los Angeles confirmed Banner is among the youngest patients to undergo this procedure in the US.
  • 💡 The donated organ was from a deceased adult, requiring the liver to be cut into smaller portions to fit Banner's small body.

Gratitude for Modern Medicine

  • ❤️ Banner's parents express immense gratitude for modern medicine and the success of the transplant, which allowed him to survive.
  • 🌟 They view Banner's return home as the best gift and a chance to celebrate Mother's Day happily.
