\u201cWe\u2019re first-time parents \u2014 we had never heard of biliary atresia,\u201d said her mother, Mariah Johnson.<\/p>\n

In April, Sadie\u2019s pediatrician diagnosed her with biliary atresia, a rare liver disease that affects infants. She was rushed to Levine Children\u2019s Hospital in Charlotte before being flown to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for specialized care.<\/p>\n

Sadie received a liver transplant earlier this month and is now recovering.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know their names or anything like that, but we hope to get to thank them properly in the future,\u201d Johnson said, referring to the donor. \u201cTheir selfless donation quite literally saved Sadie\u2019s life.\u201d<\/p>

Johnson, who works for the Gaston County Police Department, has been away from work since her daughter\u2019s birth as she remains with Sadie during recovery.<\/p>\n

She said support from family, friends, and the community has been critical.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prayers have been amazing,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe wouldn\u2019t have been able to make it through without the support that we\u2019ve received from our families and from the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

To help with medical expenses, members of the community have organized a 5K run and walk scheduled for Saturday, June 27.<\/p>
