Lakebay woman awaiting double organ transplant
Three years ago, Lakebay resident Savana Oberts, 24, was a healthy, active junior at Western Washington University in Bellingham studying to be a teacher, when she was suddenly taken ill and had to be rushed into surgery.
Her small intestine had become tied in a knot and had to be removed.
After spending several days in ICU, Savana was able to return home to Lakebay where she has been awaiting a double organ transplant –– a small intestine and a liver –– since 2011.
