Young transplant recipients require constant monitoring for rejection, lifelong medication and special precautions to avoid infection.

Jesse's surgeon, Leonard Bailey, also defended the hospital. ''You can't serve up hearts like cherries jubilee,'' he exclaimed. ''The family has to be very dependable and constant.'' While Loma Linda refused...
