They now smile and have pink chubby cheeks, but Layla, Walter and Amy once cried yellow tears.
They don’t know it yet but the liver transplant babies have a bond forged out of adversity and their parents’ resolve to get them through just one more day.
It was while they waited for a second chance at life that their families met and formed friendships that helped them through the despair of seeing their children deteriorate before their eyes and sharing in the joy when a liver became available.
The babies had biliary atresia, a rare disease of the liver that occurs in infants where one or more bile ducts are abnormally narrow, blocked or absent.
Each underwent surgery within weeks of being born to connect the small intestine to the liver but it failed to prevent their need for an organ transplant if they were to reach their first birthday.
All three had “tears and skin that glowed yellow”, a symptom of their condition.
