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.
