Sulphur Springs Boy Gets Mom’s Kidney

DALLAS — Sulphur Springs resident McKenzie Glenn gave her three-year-old son one of her kidneys Monday. Jace’s diseased kidneys were removed when he was just weeks old — and he’s been on dialysis all this time. Chris Hawes with Medical City of Dallas says the family is thrilled “that he’s going to grow up, it looks like, and have a wonderful, normal life and have all the things that we take for granted. We asked what they were excited about, and one of the things that she said was just going to school, he’ll be able to go to school with other children.” Hawes says both are doing well. She says Jace, who was born six weeks early, has some challenges, but the hope is he’ll lead a long, normal life.
