Only about 40 patients in the United States have ever received transplants for the type of rare liver disease 5-month-old Maximo Solano has.
LEWISVILLE, Texas — At just 5 months old, Maximo Solano has already survived more than most people face in a lifetime.

His parents, Michael and Melissa Solano, now call him their miracle child.
