*There’s great, no … there’s LIFE-SAVING news for A.J. Burgess, the little boy who was denied a kidney transplant because his father (an otherwise perfect donor) was not acceptable due to a probation violation – will now have the procedure.

We know this because the toddler’s mother, Carmellia Burgess, posted on Facebook that 2-year-old A.J. will be undergoing surgery today. The kidney is from a deceased donor.

“Heading back to surgery. Keep my baby in your prayers,” Burgess wrote, although in another post she expressed her doubts that she would ever see the day her son would receive a kidney.

The family has been in a battle with Atlanta’s Emory Hospital over A.J.’s surgery.

The back story, if you don’t know is that the youngster was born premature and without kidneys. He was initially scheduled to receive a kidney in October from his father, Anthony Dickerson. However, Emory Hospital in Atlanta refused to move forward with the procedure after Dickerson violated his probation and was sent back to jail.

Even though Dickerson was released, Emory still refused to perform the surgery. In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Camellia Burgess said that she received a letter stating that Dickerson needed to “be on good behavior for three to four months” before the hospital could reschedule the surgery. The family of course feared they would run out of time before a new donor was found for A.J.

But then on Tuesday Burgess learned that a deceased donor kidney would be given to her son.

“I never thought my baby would b (sic) seeing this day,” Burgess wrote on Facebook. “I stayed strong & did what I had to for my baby.”

Well check this out. The blessing for little A.J. keep-a comin’. Because Mom Burgess again posted on Facebook that she didn’t have a car to get AJ to his hemodialysis appointments three times a week, non-other Tyler Perry stepped up and gifted her with a brand new car, reports AJC.com.

God Bless you A.J. Burgess and you, too, Tyler Perry!  🙂
