He's being called a 'miracle baby' after surviving both COVID-19 and a liver transplant, all before his first birthday.

Kasen of Syracuse, New York, was born on Jan. 14, 2020, weighing a healthy eight pounds, according to Donerlson. He spent a few days in the neo-natal intensive care unit due to breathing issues and jaundice that Donerlson said doctors told her would improve as he got older.

"We had endless hospital visits and we would be there for five or seven or 10 days because of the severity of the disease and the complications that Kasen was having," said Donerlson, adding that Kasen had to be placed on a feeding tube."He would have fevers that wouldn’t come down.

Kasen spent around three days in the hospital but his only complication was a fever, according to Donerlson, who, along with her family members, did not suffer any complications from COVID-19.Just two weeks later, in early December, Donerlson got the call she had been waiting months for -- that a liver was available for Kasen.

When Kasen underwent the transplant in early January, he weighed only about 10 pounds more than his birth weight, according to, chief of Pediatric Transplantation at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. "His eyes have always been greenish and yellowish, his entire life, and he woke up from surgery with clear eyes," she said."I was overjoyed by seeing that."

Science is amazing.

Contrast with: “We need to get the schools open,” Deese claimed, “so that parents, and particularly women, who are being disproportionately hurt in this economy, can get back to work.”

OMG Bless him and his little body🤗❤

Go on you good thing!

GOD's precious gift !!!

💕🙏

Hope he enjoys a very healthy, strong, and productive life with no more obstacles. He’s already going to be a fighter.

pmackari_ There are good news once in a while.

The EU China continues its global social-communist agenda. Now that Biden and the Democrats are coming, the plan is close to succeeding. I think the big media and Big Tech will soon get a bitter surprise when everything is pulled in under the global state.

If you’re not already a registered organ donor, today’s a good day to do that. 💙💚💙💚
