This is from my sisters page:

for those of you who don't know about Bella here's her story,

Isabella was born January 6th, 2010 she was instantly diagnosed with jaundice, they couldn't figure out what was cause her jaundice, though after 4 non stop days under the lights they transfered her to Dayton children's hospital to have a liver biopsy. The results were inconclusive, but they had a good idea of what it might be. They sent us to Cincinnati children's hospital where they performed a second liver biopsy which they diagnosed her with Biliary atresia (which means she has absent or blocked ducts in the liver) and had her scheduled for surgery 5 days later. They preformed a procedure called a "Kasai" which creates a way for the bile to drain out of the liver, the procedure isn't permanent and will only hold up for so long before she has to have a liver transplant.

 

 Bella is 3 years old now. going to preschool riding the bus and being her crazy spunky self. everyone who meets Bella instantly falls in love with her, how could you not? shes amazing shes a fighter shes adorable despite her having a liver disease she is an energetic little girl with an amazing heart! she has not needed a liver transplant yet were just waiting for that time to come and watching her closely in the mean time.

 

 They still don't know what causes Bella's disease (biliary atresia) or how to prevent it, but every cent raised goes to finding out how to cure Bella and others.

 

Every step I take and every dollar I raise will make a difference in the lives of the 30 million Americans living with liver disease. By making a donation on my behalf, you will be helping the American Liver Foundation provide community-based education and prevention programs, protect the rights of people with liver disease, and fund critical research.

By making a donation you'll take me one step closer to my goal and take all of us another stride closer to a world free of liver disease!
