April Berends went to the Emergency Room complaining of pressure in her abdomen and really bad heart burn. Tests revealed she needed a new liver, soon. The hospital in Maine sent her down to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, where she fell into a coma. Almost two weeks later, on New Year’s Day, April received a new liver and a second chance at life. All the while, her boyfriend Scott was there by her side. “I think the next year holds just so much amazing,” said April. “And I just can’t wait.”
