What was that like, Ross?

They ended up taking him home.

But then soon after, Thomas started having seizures, started having trouble breathing, stopped eating.

Well, so how long did Thomas live in the end?

Six days.

Six days.

Okay, so this is where the story really gets going, I guess.

So how did that idea of donating his organs come into your head?

Oh, okay.

So the van came, picked up Thomas.

What happened next?

Sort of a form letter.

It basically said, thank you for your generous donation.

Thomas's corneas have been sent to this place in Boston where they study a potential cure for blindness.

And his livers have been sent to this place in Durham, North Carolina, where they study ways to treat liver disease.

But, you know, they went on with their lives because they had this new baby Callum to raise.

So they put it behind them for the most part.

But then Sarah says they got to the one-year anniversary.

So she called the donor family services person at the place that picked up Thomas's body and she basically asked them.

But she couldn't quite let it go.
