SPRINGVILLE, Utah (AP) — A Utah teenager’s kidney transplant that was postponed at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic is now scheduled after over three months of waiting. Thirteen-year-old Isabel “Izzy” Rammell was supposed to undergo the procedure earlier this year, but it was pushed back when Utah hospitals postponed elective surgeries as the pandemic ramped up. The Daily Herald reported Friday that the kidney transplant is scheduled for next month at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. The donor will be Izzy’s non-biological brother. Izzy’s mother says her family will take every precaution to make sure Izzy is safe after her surgery.
