Beloved grandmother welcomed home from Hepatitis A health battle - WDBJ7

“It really is a miracle for her to get this horrible infection and then to get a liver transplant within less than two days on the transplant list; that’s unheard of,” says family friend Mike Breiner.

Dalton’s grandchildren, coworkers, neighbors, and lifelong friends lined up to welcome her home during the surprise parade.

The matriarch’s daughter, Dara Hawkins, says the community delivered meals and assisted with doctors’ appointments while she and her father were also recovering from the disease.
