"Miracle" Boy Receives Rare Kidney Transplant

Description:In most ways, 9-year-old Blake Loudenber is a typical kid. He loves sports and loves eating Big Macs. He plays basketball for his elementary school in Griffith, Indiana. But Blake has had a very difficult childhood. He had a kidney transplant at the age of 2, which his body rejected. For more than six years of dialysis, he has been patiently waiting for a new kidney. On Tuesday night, his family got the call. Someone died on Tuesday and that person’s kidney was a perfect match. (2:26)
