Johnny Depp’s Daughter, Lily Rose, May Need A Kidney Transplant
I had reported a couple weeks back that Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter Lily Rose was suffering from a serious but undisclosed illness. It was later reported that she was suffering from acute blood poisoning that may have stemmed from a wound caused by a rusty nail. Lily Rose had been hospitalized since late February and was finally released on March 8th from London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital.
While reports that her condition had “stabilized” enough for her to go home with her parents Depp, and long-time partner actress Vanessa Paradis, Lily’s outcome could be much graver. This week’s In Touch is reporting that Lily will have an uphill battle ahead of her including on-going kidney dialysis “to flush the toxins for her body.”
Johnny had been in London for shooting his latest film, Sweeny Todd, but filming is on hold until Lily is doing “much better.” That may be a long time coming. The report states Lily has lost 85 to 90% of her kidney function and may need a new kidney. It is a difficult and ardous process to find an appropriate donor. Depp and Paradis have another child, 4-year-old Jack. While most people who need a kidney can find a match through close relatives, if this is determined to be the final outcome for little Lily, she still has tough days ahead of her, as do her parents and brother.
I sure hope Lily’s road to recovery goes smoothly and doesn’t require any drastic measures. Having a sick child is the second worst thing a parent can face. I feel for them both. Insider’s have described Johnny and Vanessa as “heartbroken, but grateful that their little girl is alive.”
I for one, will continue to pray, maybe you could do the same

Yeah, it’s great she’s out of immediate danger, but it’s horrifying that a perfectly healthy child can quickly turn into a very sick little person.
Thanks DJR! I am sure they and any parent would appreciate your kind wishes.

Poor baby, of course she’s in my thoughts.

It is a horrible thing having a sick child, no matter how old they are.
I have been praying for a happy outcome to this nightmare scenario and will continue to do so, with vigour.

Best wishes for Johnny’s little girl. I hope she recovers without the need for a transplant. This must be so frightening for her parents.

That’s so sad!! I’m not even a Depp fan and I feel really bad about his little girl.
I really hope she gets better.

I would be happy to donate a kidney. Do you happen to know her blood type?

I have experienced first-hand the power of prayer with my own child.
With thanksgiving for the healing Jesus has already given this child, I pray Jesus will provide this little girl with a complete recovery. I pray that He will grant Vanessa and Johnny the strength they need during this difficult time, and I pray they will both experience the Lord’s unfathomable love for Lily-Rose, as well as for them. May this experience draw them all in a closer relationship with our Lord, our Creator, Provider, Healer, and Sustainer. In Jesus’ Name, the Name Above All Names, Amen.

Am sorry for Jonnes daughter hope she will recover and be fine. Ive been reading about the policy of the United States Government not authorising the sale of organs but its absurd.
Me am from Africa but i can help and sell my kidney if there is an emergency like that Allan O-VE BLOOD GROUP

I am 47 and I have a lung disease that is eating away my life. It is not something that is transferable. My kidneys are fine…so is the rest of me. Just my lungs are bad-really bad.
I don’t know what blood type you need, but I would give you my kidney if it was a match.
