Hope for Ieva after mother gives part of liver
Nine-month-old Ieva Zukaskaute from Rahoon, Co Galway, and her mother, Kristina, underwent the complex procedure on Tuesday at King’s College Hospital in London.
Ieva was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare disease that affects newborns, when she was six weeks old and has already undergone two unsuccessful operations to correct her condition.
