It&#8217;s actually a recommendation. But if you don&#8217;t follow their &#8216;recommendation,&#8217; then [Yulia] won&#8217;t get the kidney transplant. So that makes it a <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/exclusive-inslee-seeks-to-hire-out-of-state-workers-rather-than-relax-washingtons-vaccine-mandate\">requirement<\/a>.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The couple, who adopted Yulia and her brother early last year, were aware of their daughter&#8217;s rare genetic kidney disorder when they took her in, and upon her arrival in their home, immediately took her to Dukes to assess the situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;We didn&#8217;t know how long it had been since she had been seen,&#8221; Chrissy said. &#8220;She needed to go on dialysis basically immediately. Her kidneys, I think, were at 13 percent function or something when we got her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yulia began the dialysis at home in August 2021, only going to the hospital for occasional checkups. However, when the opportunity to receive a kidney transplant came along, the hospital refused to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>The parents asked to have their daughter&#8217;s COVID antibody level tested, as Yulia had already had the coronavirus and was &#8220;completely, 100 percent over it&#8221; in less than a day, but were shut down.<\/p>\n<p>They also had their questions and concerns about the COVID vaccine completely dismissed by doctors at the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were almost draconian about the whole thing,&#8221; Lee stated. &#8220;Basically, what they said [was] &#8216;if you&#8217;re not going to follow our recommendation, then you&#8217;re not gonna get a kidney.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The adopted siblings had been bounced around between several homes for a few years before they were eventually taken in by Chrissy and Lee, who upon hearing of everything they had gone through, decided to adopt them &#8220;without hesitation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The couple has since retained a lawyer, but they are hoping that the increased exposure of their story will help to save their daughter&#8217;s life.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The adoptive parents of a teenage girl from Ukraine were told that their daughter will not be receiving a lifesaving kidney transplant due to the fact that she&#8217;s not<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1776779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[5458,3963,9429,7085,4352,3870,9427,5213,9428,3819,8003,9082],"class_list":["post-1776776","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report","tag-bongino","tag-carolina","tag-covid-vax","tag-denied","tag-didnt","tag-hospital","tag-life-saving","tag-north","tag-orphan","tag-report","tag-surgery","tag-ukrainian"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776776","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1776776"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1776776\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1776779"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1776776"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1776776"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1776776"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
