MINOT, N.D. (AP) Austin Westmeyer and his younger sister, Samantha Westmeyer, have always been close but now they have an even tighter bond.
On April 21, Samantha donated 69 percent of her liver to Austin, who has suffered with ulcerative colitis and primary sclerosing cholangitis since he was a freshman in college.
“We’ve always been close,” said Austin Westmeyer, a 2013 graduate of Minot High School who now lives in Minneapolis in a house he shares with his sister, who is a 2014 Minot High graduate. “… I feel like it’s kind of funny and should have been seen coming as soon as I got sick that Samantha would be the one who would some day have to give me part of her liver. I think that’s very cool and just one more way that we were able to bond and be even closer because we now share a body part.”
