f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <div class=\"post-content2\">\nAt 7 months old, Donovan Daniels of Westminster may not understand for some time just how serious his medical condition, biliary atresia, really is. It may be years before he knows he was the 300th pediatric liver transplant ever performed by doctors at Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles and Keck Medicine of USC. But one day he\u2019ll know his father Dejon Daniels went under the knife so that a portion of dad\u2019s liver could help him live a longer, healthier life.<br \/>\nIn the meantime, Donovan\u2019s mother Jessica Valdepe\u00f1a and Daniels got a glimpse of what that life might look like, thanks to a meeting with a young woman named Lydia Hand.<br \/>\nHand, now 18, was CHLA\u2019s first living donor liver transplant patient. As an infant, she also was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare life-threatening disease where bile ducts cannot expel bile from the liver. In 1998, Hand\u00a0received a liver from her grandmother. Today, the Lancaster resident is a college freshman majoring in music, and said her donated liver is still going strong.<br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s pretty amazing how far she has come,\u201d Valdepe\u00f1a said. \u201cI want Donovan to grow up and have a bright future just like Lydia is having.\u201d<br \/>\nCHLA\u2019s Liver and Intestinal Transplant Program has since grown to become one of the largest programs in the country \u2014 the hospital is now a consistent leader in the volume of living donor liver transplants performed nationwide among pediatric centers, with success rates well above national averages.<br \/>\n\u201cBut statistics are not the real story,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty\/dan-w-thomas\/\">Daniel Thomas, MD<\/a>, clinical professor of pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and medical director of the Liver and Intestinal Transplant Program at CHLA. \u201cIt is seeing patients like Lydia Hand grow, accomplish, and live to be a happy young woman with a life full of dreams and hopes.\u201d<br \/>\nCoincidentally, the same team that worked on liver patient No. 1 also treated patient No. 300. Thomas is both Hand\u2019s\u00a0and Donovan\u2019s hepatologist while <a href=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/faculty\/yuri-s-genyk\/\">Yuri Genyk, MD<\/a>, professor of clinical surgery, was their transplant surgeon.<br \/>\n\u201cDonovan\u2019s success is truly the culmination of the knowledge and skills from the 299 liver transplants that preceded him, including Lydia\u2019s,\u201d said Genyk, surgical director of the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program at CHLA. \u201cIt speaks to the expertise and dedication of the entire liver transplant team, as well as the collective support we receive from all the services CHLA provides.\u201d<br \/>\nWhen Donovan\u2019s parents brought him to Children\u2019s Hospital Los Angeles in October, doctors told them Donovan urgently needed a new liver. Daniels volunteered and was found to be a match. The transplant took place Nov. 18, with Genyk performing both parts \u2014 Daniels\u2019 surgery at USC in the morning and Donovan\u2019s transplant at CHLA several hours later. Daniels was released and finally was able to visit Donovan just in time for Thanksgiving.<br \/>\nHand\u00a0and Donovan\u2019s family met in Donovan\u2019s hospital room on Dec. 1, the day he was discharged.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019ve heard all the stories about my transplant from my family, but to actually see and hear what their family is going through is a special experience,\u201d Hand\u00a0said. \u201cDonovan is me, I was once him, and it\u2019s incredible to know that hundreds of other kids have received this life-saving procedure at CHLA in the years between us.\u201d<br
