A mum in palliative care who was diagnosed with liver failure at just 16-years-old has thanked the hero transplant team at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh for giving her '18 years of life and two beautiful children.'
Katie Howden, 34, has had three liver transplants and debilitating health issues since high school, spending a lot of time in and out of hospital while growing up.
Tragically after a successful transplant last year her body now started to reject the organ and triggered liver failure which has spread to other major organs.
