From streamers and cake to party hats and presents, it looks like an average birthday party. But this celebration is different. Jessica Danielson is celebrating her 30th Birthday. A birthday doctor's said she would never have. "At the time, they told me that I actually had about three years, but it's been ten, so I've actually done pretty good."… She went to the Mayo for a check-up. Once there, doctors dropped a bombshell. The lack of blood flow to her organs over the years had caused significant liver damage and now she needed not only a new heart, but a liver too."I got kind of terrified. I was like, I've been walking around not knowing how sick I was."
