Twin sisters receive kidneys from same donor

Chicago-area trauma victim gives gift of life to 10-year-old girls

It had been snowing in Chicago when the call came from the hospital telling Rachel Dalomba that transplant teams had acquired two kidneys from a trauma victim -- one for each of her twin, 10-year-old daughters. “The snow and everything this time of year -- it really felt like we were getting a great Christmas gift.” (story and video at MSN Today)
