Girl celebrates birthday after transplant surgery
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
Campus/Area
Yesterday wasn't the best birthday ever for Lilly Williams, but, she said, it was better than some.
Lilly, the 11-year-old daughter of KU alumni Jan and Anthony Albrecht, Lindsburg, underwent a liver and kidney transplant on Nov. 21 at the University of Minnesota Mayo Clinic and Hospitals in Minneapolis.
For her birthday, Lilly was allowed to leave the hospital to eat lunch in a nearby hotel and received presents from her mother and grandmother, who are with her in Minneapolis.
Lilly was born with a congenital disorder that resulted in cirrhosis of her liver, Jan Albrecht said.
"If you didn't know she'd had a liver transplant two and a half weeks ago, you'd never guess," Jan Albrecht said yesterday.
She said that by the time Lilly started having problems, her liver was failing. A kidney biopsy taken during the liver transplant confirmed that a kidney transplant also would be needed.
Physicians doubted that Lilly would live more than a year without the operation.
Lilly's stepfather, Anthony Albrecht, said Lilly was lucky. Ordinarily, he said, the hospital will not put a patient on the donor list without a guarantee of $112,000.
In Lilly's case, however, a compatible donor became available before she was on the list, and the Albrechts were told the guarantee would be waived.
Although they will not be billed until Lilly is released, Anthony Albrecht said, the estimated cost is $180,000. He said his insurance, Blue Cross & Blue Shield, would pay $40,000. The Albrechts must pay the remaining $140,000.
Checks may be made payable to Lilly and sent to TACOL, P.O. Box 282, Lindsburg, Kan. 67456 or First National Bank of Lawrence, 900 Massachusetts St., Lawrence, Kan. 66044.
The Association of Churches of Lindsborg and the First National Bank of Lawrence are accepting donations to benefit Lilly.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Paul Hess, a former Kansas state senator who disappeared last month with his three young sons, has been found in Cairo, Egypt, and his estranged wife said yesterday she had been reunited with the children.
In a telephone interview with Kansas City television station KCTV, Anne Oliver Hess said Egyptian authorities had helped her gain custody of the children pending court hearings in Cairo to determine custody.

"I'm just so thrilled that they are alive," Mrs. Hess told KCTV. "It was just wonderful. We were coming out of the U.S. Embassy yesterday when we spotted Paul and two of the boys walking in."
A federal warrant was issued Monday in Kansas City, Kan., charging Hess with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, which allowed the FBI to begin searching for

Hess children are found; custody hearing pending
You Save $100.00
Hess, a lawyer who represented Wichita for 12 years in the Legislature before moving to Overland Park and losing an election bid in 1984, failed to appear in mid-November before a Kansas state board to answer questions of professional misconduct involving a $100,000 loan from clients.
A misdemeanor bench warrant was issued for Hess after Mrs. Hess reported the children missing Nov. 12.
Dennis Moore, the Johnson County district attorney, late last month filed two counts of felony theft against Hess, and a Johnson County judge then issued an arrest warrant. That warrant allowed authorities to extradite Hess if he was arrested outside of Kansas.
Hess, once one of the most influential members of the Kansas Legislature, left the Kansas City area last month with his sons, ages 4.3 and 1. Authorities thought he had flown to Amman, Jordan.
