ICYMI: A Call In The Middle Of The Night: 90 Minutes To Save Her Life

In case you missed it, here's a story that appeared last week in Massapequa Patch:

When Massapequa resident Dana Sepulveda heard the phone ring at about 5 in the morning on June 26, her first thought was that someone died. Little did she know it was actually the call that would save her life.

The 36-year-old mother of two had been waiting for a call for a liver and kidney transplant after she was diagnosed with polycystic kidney and liver disease a few years ago.

"I went through life fine and then after I became pregnant with my first daughter I noticed a little distension in the my stomach which is strange because I'm in good shape," Sepulveda told Patch.

She went to a local doctor in Massapequa who told her it was probably just from the baby and that everything was fine.

However, after becoming pregnant with her second child last year the doctors noticed her liver and kidneys were enlarged during a sonogram. She was told to get it checked out after the baby was born.

She then went to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City and was told she would have to get a transplant. So she got on the list and started the process to receive a new liver and kidney last October.
