LEAD THE WAY ONLY ON WLWT. CANDICE DIXON IS A 35 YEAR OLD OHIO NATIVE WHO RECENTLY RECEIVED THE GIFT OF LIFE TWICE, ONCE THROUGH A LIFE SAVING KIDNEY AND PANCREAS TRANSPLANT, AND NOW THROUGH THE BIRTH OF HER DAUGHTER, WLWT LINDSAY. STONE JOINS US LIVE FROM U-C MEDICAL CENTER WITH WHY? DIXON SAYS THE ORGAN DONOR DID MORE THAN JUST SAVE HER LIFE. LINDSAY. WELL, CHRIS, IF YOU GET TO MEET CANDICE DIXON, THE FIRST THING YOU맥스카지노�RE GOING TO NOTICE IS HER THOUSAND WATT SMILE. IT LIGHTS UP THE ROOM NO MATTER WHAT LIFE HAS THROWN HER WAY. ORGAN FAILURE, MULTIPLE HEALTH ISSUES, EVEN ORGAN REJECTION. SHE HAS NEVER LOST THAT SMILE. AND SHE맥스카지노�S ALSO NEVER LOST HER DESIRE TO DO THE ONE THING THAT SHE ALWAYS FELT CALLED TO DO BECOME A MOM. I WOULDN맥스카지노�T CHANGE IT FOR THE WORLD, AND I WOULD GO THROUGH IT A MILLION TIMES OVER AGAIN TO SAY THE JOURNEY TO MOTHERHOOD WAS DIFFICULT FOR CANDICE DIXON WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THE TYPE ONE DIABETIC WENT INTO KIDNEY FAILURE IN 2015 AND WAS PLACED ON THE TRANSPLANT LIST FOR A KIDNEY AND PANCREAS, AND THEN ABOUT SIX AND A HALF MONTHS LATER IS WHEN I GOT THE CALL WHEN SHE WOKE FROM SURGERY, SHE HAD ONE QUESTION. SO IN A YEAR I CAN HAVE A BABY, RIGHT? AND LIKE, EVERYBODY STARTED LAUGHING. BUT IT WASN맥스카지노�T AN EASY PROCESS. DIXON HAD HAD TO SWITCH TO PREGNANCY SAFE MEDICATION, AND THAT맥스카지노�S WHY MY PANCREAS WENT INTO FAILURE AS A DUAL ORGAN TRANSPLANT. THESE PATIENTS ARE VERY HIGH RISK OF. FIRST OF ALL, IT맥스카지노�S A MIRACLE TO HAVE A PREGNANCY AND THEN COMPLICATION OF TRANSPLANT MAKE IT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER TO GO THROUGH THE PREGNANCY AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME. BUT DESPITE LOW ODDS, DIXON GOT PREGNANT. AFTER MY TRANSPLANT, I WAS LIKE, WHAT AM I? YOU KNOW, WHY DID ALL THIS HAPPEN TO ME? AND WHY AM I HERE AND SO SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS TRANSPLANT? LIKE, THERE맥스카지노�S GOT TO BE A REASON FOR THAT, YOU KNOW? AND I JUST ALWAYS FELT LIKE MOTHERHOOD WAS WAS THE REASON LYDIA ELLEN ROSE ARRIVED JUST BEFORE THANKSGIVING LAST YEAR. PERFECTLY HEALTHY. CANDICE AND HER HUSBAND, ERIC CALL HER THEIR MIRACLE. I맥스카지노�M SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL TO MY DONOR. HE GAVE ME SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, NOBODY ELSE WAS ABLE TO GIVE ME. I WASN맥스카지노�T EVEN ABLE TO GIVE MYSELF A CHILD MYSELF, DIXON SAYS THAT SELFLESSNESS NOW LIVES ON. I WAS GIVEN LIFE SO I COULD GIVE HER LIFE. AND LYDIA TURNED TEN WEEKS OLD YESTERDAY AND SHE IS HAPPY AND HEALTHY. AND SO IS MOM.
