Imagine your every waking hour being consumed with worry and fear over the health of your child. That is the life we lived when our son, Raphael Kellner, was diagnosed at birth with a life-threatening liver disease called Biliary Atresia. At 5 weeks of age, Raphael underwent an unsuccessful operation to repair his damaged liver. In January, 2004, at the age of 6 months old, Raphael was blessed to receive a donor liver and underwent a life-sustaining liver transplant. The liver team at Mount Sinai Hospital, headed by Dr. Sukru Emre, saved Raphael’s life and, as we have learned, the lives of so many children suffering from liver disease each year.
