What happened to Florence?
“Florence has been healthy, she just has a cold. He has no symptoms of any disease and has not received any treatment.” Andrea told the media SRT.
He added that he suddenly developed “fulminant liver failure”. Her liver was paralyzed, so we needed a whole liver and nothing else,” explained the mother of the 18-year-old girl, who went from being healthy to being on the INCUCAI waiting list within a week.
