Daughter says mom 'gave me life twice' with kidney donation

Ambrealle Brown, after a 2016 diagnosis of a rare kidney disease, received Louisiana's first robotic kidney transplant from her mother, Nija Butler, in March 2023 at Tulane University.
Brown's life-threatening condition required dialysis for up to 13 hours daily and a kidney transplant after doctors warned she faced kidney failure and dialysis dependency.
Nearly two years after the transplant, the mother and daughter graduated together from a nursing program in Baton Rouge and shared their experience in an interview with the Associated Press.
Butler described her love saying, "I would die for you," and Brown thanked her mother for giving her "life twice," highlighting the success and emotional impact of the surgery.
Their story illustrates advances in precision robotic surgery and the importance of transplant awareness, inspiring others to persist and promote medical testing and donation.
