Modern Family Star Sarah Hyland Opens Up About Her Second Kidney transplant

The Modern Family actress Sarah Hylan has opened up about her second kidney transplant.

This is not the first time the 28 years old Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland had her Kidney transplant. The actress had her first kidney transplant back in 2012 when she was just 21. Sarah revealed she had her second kidney transplant in September last year.

The actress talked about her experience and journey with kidney dysplasia and endometriosis in an interview with the Self Magazine. On her battle with the Kidney transplant, Sarah says: 

"It's a helpless feeling"

Sarah was born with the Kidney dysplasia issue meaning her kidney didn't develop while she was still inside her mother womb. She went through kidney failure in 2012 when she had her first kidney transplant. Her father Edward James Hyland helped her donating his kidney at the time. 

But unfortunately, Sarah's body started rejecting her kidney in October 2016 which made her go through another Kidney transplant again in 2017. Luckily for her second kidney transplant, her brother,  Ian Hyland was her donor.

Sarah also stated that all her life she felt like a burden and even contemplated suicide when her second kidney failed thinking she would fail her little brother's kidney just like she failed her father's.

Cover star Sarah Hyland (@sarahhyland) and Wells Adams (of "The Bachelorette" fame) have been dating for a little over a year. They met in person for the first time just three days before she had her second kidney transplant, in September 2017. That was quite a week for Hyland. As she describes it: "September 16th I had an [Emmy Awards] party and my first date with [Wells]. The 17th was the Emmys. The 18th I had work on Modern Family at 6 A.M. and then I went to dialysis afterwards. And then I had to be at the hospital at 4 o'clock in the morning for my transplant the next day."

With all the health issues going on with Sarah, the strong actress left some positive message too along with her Instagram post and Interviews she did with Self Magazine. She says:

"I say words here that hopefully others can relate to and feel like they’re not alone. Hopefully those that are lucky enough not to experience this will learn about something new and take a moment to appreciate their health."
