Kidney transplant an answered prayer for Stanley woman
Kelsey Beacham was given a grave prognosis a little more than two years ago.
Her kidneys, having been strained and damaged by the Type 1 diabetes with which she had suffered since the age of 6, were strained, damaged, and shutting down.
Her only hope for long-term survival, she was told by a medical team at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, was a combination kidney and pancreas transplant.
Early Saturday morning, in an operation that lasted more than hours, that hope became a reality.
Kelsey, now 30, received a new kidney and a new pancreas from a donor only identified as a healthy young man from another state.
