Ashley和Ryan Wagner对重病并不陌生。丈夫患有直肠癌，现在，刚出生的儿子又给这个家庭雪上加霜，患有原发性高草酸盐尿症，需要换肝换肾。好在天无绝人之路。
Miles Wagner was born with primary hyperoxaluria， a rare condition that can lead to kidney（肾） failure. He was 8 weeks old when he had a sudden attack. His doctors determined he would need both a liver（肝脏） transplant and a kidney transplant. While Miles successfully underwent a liver transplant from a dead donor， he still needed a kidney donor.
Ashley and her husband， Ryan Wagner， were no stranger to serious diseases when Miles was diagnosed. The father Ryan Wagner was diagnosed with colon（直肠） cancer. The couple started a Facebook page to update friends and family on his condition. After Miles was born， they started to include updates on him as well.
“It started long before we had Miles and ...we had a following for quite a while，” Ashley Wagner said on the Facebook page. “It’s kind of crazy how much strength we’ve gotten from their support and they’re complete strangers.”
Miles’ parents put up a Facebook post asking people to volunteer to be a donor. Elizabeth Wolodkiewicz， a former high school classmate of Miles’ parents， saw the post and volunteered. It took weeks of tests before doctors determined that Wolodkiewicz was a donor match.
“There were tears of joy and relief and excitement and just thinking about the future，” Wagner said at the moment they learned Wolodkiewicz was a match. “When we started this whole journey， it seemed like the light at the end of the tunnel was never going to be there.”
