They've always been close, but now they share more than love.
When Shay Segura says she owes her life to her son, Bryan Cesario, she's not joking. Three months ago, Cesario donated part of his liver to Segura, who was near death.
In 1999, Segura was a nursing student in Arizona — an apparently healthy mom to three young boys. One day she donated blood and received news that altered life entirely: Her liver numbers were abnormally high. Tests revealed that she had primary biliary cirrhosis, an autoimmune disease that destroys the liver's bile ducts (see side story). The cause is unknown, but there may be a link among family members (Segura's aunt died from the disease).
