WHEATON, Maryland (CNN) -- After a six-year battle to stay
alive, Danny Canal is home for the holidays.
Just 14, Danny has had three quadruple transplants --
stomach, liver, pancreas and small intestine -- raising
questions about why 12 organs were allotted to a single
patient when thousands of others are in need.
But in the Canal household on Christmas, any medical
controversy is secondary. What matters is family and, as
Correspondent Holly Firfer reports from suburban Washington,
with Danny at home, the family is together again.
