Baby Jiana Mathew has not had a peaceful night’s sleep since birth. When she was only 7-days old, she had jaundice. Her body was yellow all over and she was irritable. The poor baby was then diagnosed with severe liver disease when she was 1-month old. From then on, life has been a painful journey for Jiana and her parents.This 1-year-old baby girl needs an urgent liver transplant as her liver is completely damagedBaby Jiana’s life is in dangerLittle Jiana’s liver does not function properly like it does in healthy infants her age. The small ducts in her liver that drain bile are blocked. Due to this, fluid gets collected in her abdomen that results in infection. The baby is in constant pain because of this. Her spleen is enlarged and her stomach is swollen. Her small palm is bandaged because she constantly tugs at the IV lines that are used to give life-saving antibiotics in her body.“Our baby had to have a surgery at only six weeks. We were so scared because she was so small.
