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.
