Back in 2004, a guy in Florida named Bryan Herrington died in an accident. But because he was an organ donor, five of his organs were used in life-saving operations. His wife’s name is Terri. And to honor him, she decided to register as a living donor, just in case she could ever help someone too.
And here’s where it really gets good: One of Bryan’s kidneys went to a guy named Jeff Granger who was on dialysis. And 16 years later, Terri saved him AGAIN by giving him one of HER kidneys.
The surgery happened last year, and he’s doing a lot better now. And for Terri, the bonus was she got to do one more thing WITH Bryan, 16 years after he died.
