Woman donates kidney to ailing sibling and later carries her baby
WCBS
First, a Long Island woman donated a kidney to her sister and then she carried her baby.
It was an inspirational medical odyssey that shows dreams can come true, CBS2’s Carolyn Gusoff reported Wednesday.
This motherhood moment would never have happened if not for an incredible bond of sisterhood. Katy Monte has cystic fibrosis and has spent her life in and out of hospitals.
“When Katy was born, they told my mom she wouldn’t graduate high school,” sister Christine Zammit said.
“When I was 26, my doctors told me if I didn’t have a double-lung transplant I wouldn’t survive more than two years,” Monte said.
GENEVA East Liverpool senior high jumper Cameron Beverly is making up for lost time.
After advancing to the state track meet as a sophomore and having his junior outdoor season wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic, Beverly captured a state title Friday.
Beverly won the Division II-III high jump title at the Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches (OATCCC) indoor state championship.
Beverly cleared 6-foot-4 at SPIRE Institute to top the field. Carrollton senior Talen Timberlake was second in (6-2).
The two high jumpers met on the basketball court on Jan. 19 with the Potters winning 76-61. Timberlake scored 16 points and Beverly 12 in the contest.
