A quadruple amputee named Brie Morgan Bauer received a life-saving kidney transplant from her older brother, George Morgan. Bauer, 37, had undergone an emergency C-section in February 2024, which led to a 10-day coma, septic shock, and organ failure. Doctors were forced to amputate both her arms and legs to save her life.
She then faced the prospect of 16 hours of dialysis weekly. After two of her three siblings were not kidney matches, Bauer lost hope. However, her brother George, living in Colorado, learned he was a perfect match.
George surprised Brie with the news on her birthday, and they underwent surgery on March 25th. The transplant was successful, and Bauer has since stopped dialysis. She is now focusing on healing, adapting to her new life, and anticipating the use of prosthetic limbs.
