Episode 12: SARAH VARGAS | “Moving Across the Country for a 2nd Pediatric Liver Transplant”
In Episode 12, we chat with transplant parent Sarah Vargas, whose daughter Rosie was born with a rare metabolic condition called Maple Syrup Urine Disease, a sometimes fatal condition in which the body is unable to process certain proteins. Sarah and her husband Tony have navigated two pediatric liver transplants for Rosie, relocating to Pittsburgh in 2015 for specialized care at Children’s Hospital.
Originally from California, Sarah holds a bachelor’s in marketing and an MBA. She’s also a former board member of Transplant Families, an organization that supports families on the transplant journey by providing inspiration, support, and education. Married for over 10 years, Sarah and Tony have three wonderful children.
Join us as Sarah shares her family’s inspiring journey, the challenges of relocating for Rosie’s care, the resilience it takes to persevere through multiple transplants and the importance of mental health before, during, and after transplant. You won’t want to miss it!
