Charlotte Worton.AN inspirational 16-year-old who revised while recovering from a liver transplant is celebrating after passing her GCSEs.
Who had a rare condition called autoimmune hepatitis - an inflammation of the liver - had her first transplant at Birmingham Children's Hospital.
She was fine until last September.
But she had to go into hospital because her eyes started to go a tinge of yellow.
She did a biopsy and they said her body was rejecting her liver.
Despite doctors trying different medication, Charlotte's condition deteriorated and at one point her name was removed from the transplant list because she was so ill.
She battled through and had a second transplant.
Charlotte said she has never felt better and in September is returning to Stourport High School to do her A-levels, which she hopes to use to become a social worker or counsellor, helping other people recover from organ transplants.
