Brooklyn woman on brink of death thrives after five transplants to replace disease-ravaged organs
Just eight months ago, Kristin Molini was a bone-thin 74 pounds, spending 13 hours a day hooked up to an IV for the nutrition she needed to survive.
The young Brooklyn woman's skin was bright yellow with jaundice. She was in constant pain and could barely leave the house.
But in a stunning turnaround, when the ball drops tonight, the 22-year-old Gravesend resident will be out celebrating with friends - and with five new organs transplanted in a rare and complex surgery.
It took two years, but Molini received a new liver, stomach, pancreas and large and small intestine in a delicate 13-hour operation at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia.
Her feet firmly planted on the road to recovery, she's not looking back.
