HOUSTON—When we first met Tyler Nelson in late 2010, he was a 16-year-old from Grand Prairie, Texas struggling with the ravages of cystic fibrosis. He was frail and time was growing short, but Tyler wanted to spread the message about the worldwide need for organ donation.
"God is gonna bless me with a lung and liver pretty soon," he said. "And as long as I continue to pray and have support, I know I’ll be good."
Tyler’s blessing came on Tuesday at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. After a 16-month wait, a matching donor had finally been found.
