Hannah was born with a rare liver disease called biliary atresia. At six weeks old, she underwent a corrective surgery called a Kasai operation, which has been a very successful therapy for her. She is our 'sunshine girl', always full of smiles and enthusiasm for life. The Kasai operation is not a cure, and Hannah still faces complications of liver disease and possibly a transplant in the future. This is a place to chronicle Hannah's journey with her liver disease.
Hannah's Journey
About Hannah
Hannah is three years old and is coping very well with her liver disease. She has an enlarged liver and spleen, which means she has portal hypertension, and she also suffers from itching, but none of that stops her growing well and having lots of energy. Hannah's liver is currently working as well as we could hope and it could be many years before she needs a transplant.
