SALT LAKE CITY -- Children with life-long medical conditions need mom and dad's support to help keep them alive, but what happens when the parents aren't around anymore?
Primary Children's Medical Center has launched a new program that's actually helping kids sever those ties -- for good reason!
Two brothers, Ethan and Devon Galland, are "Movin' On Up." That's the name of the project to help them make the transition away from mom and dad so they can take care of their own medical conditions.
Six years ago, Ethan got a donated kidney from his dad. The year before, Devon got a kidney transplant from his mom. While both were born with the same congenital disease, it's rare each parent was able to donate a kidney to each child.
