Kyree received a liver, pancreas, and small and large intestines from their daughter Arianna.

"I never wanted a family to lose their child so that mine could live. The Morales family wanted to see another child live if their angel was given her wings," Kyree's mother Nan Beachem posted on Facebook.

Kyree was moved out of the pediatric intensive care unit and onto the transplant floor, where she slept comfortably last night without oxygen for the first time since the surgery.
