Boy, 2, gets Kidney From Parents' Former Classmate

While there is some happy news here, I'll warn you this story will break your heart. 

Little two year old Miles was diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease called hyperoxaluria which doctors say made it necessary to have a liver transplant back in January 2016. After making through that major ordeal while on dialysis for more than a year, Miles waited for a much needed kidney transplant. 

Reading about the story on Facebook, a high school classmate of Miles' parents, Liz Wolodkiewicz, 31,a former classmate of the couple had known Ryan and Ashley back when they were high school sweethearts. She turned out to be a match and donated her kidney to save the baby boy earlier this week. 

I mentioned the story would break your heart. While Miles is recuperating, the child's father, Ryan is dying of stage IV colon cancer. 

Prayers out to the entire family.
