Organ Donation Stories: The Tragedy and Triumph

Awe and thankfulness. Those were the two feelings that came to Karen Lyons when Cleveland Clinic surgeon Nicholas Smedira, MD, walked into the waiting room early on New Year's Eve to announce that her son Porter's new heart was beating. It was another day in the office for this team; it was anything but for the family. Members of the Lyons family were already proponents of organ donation because of Doug's history of transplants, but Porter's experience renewed their vigor for the cause. As the months went on after his heart transplant surgery, the family never passed up the chance to share their story about the importance of organ donation. As Doug noted, organ donation is a tragedy on one end and a triumph on the other. In the next episode: Porter takes his first steps on the long road to recovery.
