A seventeen year-old girl is close to death after a heart and lung transplant from a donor with the wrong blood type. Hospital officials held out little hope of finding a new set of organs in time.
After the botched operation on February 7th, the girl suffered a heart attack on February 10th and a seizure last Sunday, and is in critical condition with a machine keeping her heart and lungs going.
"Right now my daughter is between life and death, and she could die at any moment," said her mother. "My daughter needs a transplant of a new heart and lungs to survive. It's the only hope that we have because the doctors made an error.
