Multiple organ transplant gives Nikki LeFebre hope for the future

KSDK Channel 5 | Kristen Gosling

(WTHR) -- Nikki LeFebre is a huge Packers fan from Wisconsin. She wanted to see her team come to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl.

Instead, she came to Indianapolis last weekend and won a bigger victory - when she found luck on a list.

LeFebre married her high school sweetheart in October.

In December, it turned into a nightmare as she was diagnosed with sepsis for the 18th time in two years.

"My husband just broke down crying and he goes, 'I just have this bad feeling you are going to die,'" LeFebre said.

Her father has watched on helplessly over the last five years as Nikki's health deteriorated.
