After undergoing a rare and difficult triple organ transplant that left him under the knife for 20 hours, a single father from Southern California is feeling like a new person. Valance Sams Sr. underwent heart, liver, and kidney transplant at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, a procedure that only 45 others have undergone in the last 36 years. 'I'm feeling fine, awesome, amazing,' Sams said. It's night and day.' Sams was first diagnosed with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease that resulted in a buildup of scar tissue on his chest, ten years since. The father was unable to work or walk prior to his surgery. Now, he's back to exercising and walking with his son, who helped him return to health.
