Similarly, the couple fought several months for their son. They waited for several months with a hope of finding a liver donor for the transplant but they were not able to find one.

However, with the advice of the doctor, Catherine agreed to become the donor but it was not the easy decision to make as she also had another child an eighteen months old daughter, Jamie. 

When she decided to donate her liver, she said,

"Peter needs it and that’s really the end of it. My son’s over at the Children’s Hospital."

Fortunately, she has her spouse who was ready to take all the responsibilities for his family. He not only took care of his baby girl but also his wife and son. 

Currently, Peter is fine as he is as healthy as other normal kids. We must say the love, pray, and support of his parents really worked out for him.

Catherine actually gave a second life to Peter. When asked about giving a second life to her son she said:

“Several people have said this to me and I guess that’s probably true in some ways but, you know, you give life to somebody once that’s a very big deal. I mean you can understand it if you’ve done it.”

She further added,

“But several people have said to me it’s like giving him life a second time, which you know I never expected to, yes. And I really hope it works out for him."

We wish the family lifetime of happiness and togetherness and pray for their longevity.
