Five Organ Transplant

Adonis Ortiz, a three year old boy from Tampa, Florida was born with an extremely rare defect, causing some of his organs to form outside of his body.  After his family received a call from Jackson Memorial Hospital, Adonis and his family were rushed to Miami so the procedure could be preformed.  Doctors told the family there was only a 50/50 chance that the boy would survive.  Miraculously, the five organ transplant was a success.  The baby received a liver, pancreas, stomach, small, and large intestines.  He is still in Miami recovering from surgery, but is in stable condition.  

Stick it to the poor

Apparently, our governments is coming up with ideas to ruin the lives of millions of people across our country.  Congress will basically start kicking people out of their homes early next year.  The idea is, if you can't pay for your house without government assistance, you don't deserve to live in one.  All in all, about 3 million disabled senior citizens and families will be affected by this.  Our government is also making budget cuts for the SNAP benefits, which means people who lean on the help of the government for food stamps will be deprived of this necessity.

Shark Attack in Maui

While fishing from his kayak, the unnamed victim was attacked by the shark.  He and his companion, also unnamed, were fishing for bait fish with artificial lures when the shark bit the foot of the man as he dangled it in the water.  After falling into the water, the shark came up and bit again on the thigh of the same leg.  Said companion then tried to stem the severe bleeding by tying a tourniquet to the man's leg.  A rescue boat was called quickly and arrived within a few minutes.  Once back to shore, the victim was rushed to a hospital, but it is believed that he died on the rescue boat on the way to shore.  This is the 13th shark attack in Hawaii this year, and the 8th in Maui alone.
