Dad performs a life-saving transplant on his daughter to save her.

Karen Rhodes and Paul Rybkin faced a heartbreaking situation when their son was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a rare condition that leads to kidney cysts and renal failure. Their son had only 36 hours to live.

In 2013, they welcomed another child, Maddy, who unfortunately inherited the same condition. Determined not to let PKD take their second child, Paul embarked on a two-year journey to save her. Maddy spent much of her early life surrounded by doctors, needing oxygen and breathing tubes. Her persistent stomach enlargement made her weak and prone to vomiting, raising concerns for her life if a kidney donor couldn’t be found.

Fortunately, the family received news that Maddy’s father was a suitable donor. Karen anxiously awaited the surgery, worried for both her husband and daughter.

The procedure was successful, and Paul saved his daughter’s life. Maddy, once helpless and unwell, is now a vibrant and healthy 2-year-old with a normal, albeit slightly rounder, stomach. Paul is grateful for the opportunity to save his second child but believes any responsible parent would do the same. He expressed his joy at Maddy’s newfound health and contentment.

Maddy’s parents look forward to watching her grow into a typical adult, despite doctors predicting another kidney transplant in 25 years. They cherish the present moment and hope for a future filled with happiness and joy as a family.
