Lisa Collis

Lisa Collis is an infant who needed a liver transplant due to biliary atresia.
==History==
Lisa was born with biliary atresia and was in the hospital awaiting a liver transplant. When she was four months old, a liver became available. Because the donor was an adult, the liver was split between herself and another patient. The transplant went well, but they were unable to close because of the swelling. Stark placed a sponge to keep the pressure off her hepatic artery and took her out of surgery.
The sponge was at risk for causing infection, so it wasn't a permanent solution to keep the pressure off. Alex had the idea to use a sterilized ping pong ball, which was safer because it could stay in her body and her liver would just grow around it. Stark operated to place it and after surgery, her parents were able to see her.
