Indiana Woman Says It Was Her Calling to Give Part of Her Liver to Save Mom

When Jessica found out her mother, Lori, needed a life-saving liver transplant, she took the risk to offer hers. She says she “just knew" instinctively that donating to her mom “was like a calling for my life.” Doctors took 60% of Jessica’s liver and transplanted it into Lori during a 10-hour surgery. The liver is an organ that grows back after being cut, so not only has Jessica’s liver returned to normal size, the portion of Jess’ liver inside her mother has grown to full size also.
