A Nottinghamshire mum of two has spoken out about motherhood as she feels ‘incredibly lucky to be here’ 30 years after having her liver transplant at seven years old.
Emma Croghan from Carlton, was born with the rare liver disease, biliary atresia, where the bile ducts are scarred and blocked. Emma was just seven when she underwent the life-saving surgery.
The 37-year-old said: “At the time, it was early days for paediatric liver transplants in the UK. My quality of life improved dramatically but there were still so many unknowns about the future.
