Maliyah’s Ongoing Kidney Challenges
Due to the twins sharing only one kidney, the surgeons faced a tough decision during their separation. Kendra was the recipient of the kidney, which left Maliyah dependent on dialysis for nine months until she received a kidney donation from her mother. For years, everything seemed to be progressing well for Maliyah until, a decade later, her body began to reject her mother’s kidney. This setback forced her back onto dialysis, casting uncertainty over her future once more.
The course of Maliyah’s condition and the duration of her treatment remained uncertain. However, one thing was clear: she urgently needed another kidney transplant.
