Marine vet's baby daughter, in need of liver donor, not a match with parents
Fox News
Kennedy Dorfman, the 2-year-old daughter of a police officer and a middle school math teacher, is a happy, bubbly little girl – with a serious liver illness and in dire need of a transplant.
Kennedy was diagnosed with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency, a rare condition afflicting the lungs and liver, on Dec. 29. It varies greatly in severity and even more rarely exhibits symptoms in someone so young. Her father, Eric Dorfman, a Marine veteran and active-duty police officer in New York’s Suffolk County, has the wrong blood type. Her mother, technically a match, is currently 34 weeks pregnant with Kennedy’s soon-to-be little brother and therefore ineligible to donate.More Related News
