In this powerful and emotional episode of Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, we meet Mindy Wilson, devoted mother to 6-year-old Wilson Perry. What began as a simple lung infection turned into a life-altering journey spanning over a year, involving three different hospitals. Now, young Wilson is at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, bravely awaiting a life-saving lung transplant.
This is not just a story about illness—it’s about hope, resilience, and a mother’s unbreakable love. Mindy shares the ups and downs of their medical odyssey, the emotional toll, and the strength they’ve found through faith, community, and each other.
If you’re a parent, this episode will touch your heart deeply. You’ll likely find yourself hugging your children just a little tighter after hearing Wilson’s story.
Let’s all send love, prayers, and good energy that the call for lungs will come soon for this brave little boy.
