Daughter Heads To The ER Because Of An Ear Infection. A Few Days Later, A Stroke Takes Her Life
By Dreamer
This story is every mother’s nightmare. Debra Wyant's daughter, Shayna Sturtevant, passed away. She was suffering from an ear infection. Debra went to the hospital to get Shayna checked out and four days after that, her child passed away due to a stroke.
Debra knew that her daughter Shayna was an organ donor. Through Gift of Life, Shayna gave such an amazing donation by donating her liver, kidneys, pancreas and lungs as she became the first person in Michigan to donate her hands.
The recipient who received Shayna's hands was Loella Aker, a grandmother from Indiana who has now regained her ability to touch. Debra is grateful for her daughter’s final act of kindness, giving strangers the precious gift of life.
“I think God took her out of mercy to help these other people,” Debra told Fox 17.
While organ recipients usually aren’t identified to one another, Debra happened to read an article in the Courier Journal where Loella was identified.
“Honestly, it was almost like Shayna picked her,” she said.
Loella lost her hands after getting a blood infection while helping to clean up the debris left over from a tornado devastation. Debra doesn’t believe there is someone more deserving and has written Loella a letter in hopes of meeting her someday.
