A surgeon and patient are marking a significant milestone, 25 years since a notable transplant. The patient, Kareena, was just six months old at the time of the procedure. Her situation was critical, with time running out, when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred.

The attacks had a widespread impact, grounding flights across the country. Despite these challenges, Kareena received a life-changing transplant at Texas Children's Hospital. Further details about Kareena's story and the extraordinary events surrounding her transplant are available.

The patient is now reflecting on the gift of life she received 25 years ago.
