In this deeply moving episode of Gift of Life – The Organ Transplant Podcast, we sit down with Stephanie King, the strong and loving mother of 8-year-old Emily, a young girl whose courage has already inspired so many.
Emily’s life has been marked by medical challenges most of us can hardly imagine. At just two years old, she underwent her first double lung transplant. After facing heartbreaking rejection, she would go on to receive a second double lung transplant at only seven years old.
Stephanie shares the highs and lows of their journey — from terrifying hospital stays to small victories and big prayers. This episode is a testament to the power of love, resilience, and the gift of organ donation.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Emily, Stephanie, and their entire family as they continue to face each day with strength and grace.
