Lindsey and her husband Blake stand with Cleveland Clinic medical staff as they announce she was the nation's first uterus transplant patient, Monday, March 7, 2016, in Cleveland. Standing with the couple, from left, are Ruth M. Farrell, M.D., bio-ethicist, Rebecca Flyckt, M.D., OB/GYN surgeon, and Andreas Tzakis, M.D., program director of the Transplant Center. Lindsey, who didn't want to use her last name to protect the privacy of her family, said that she prayed for years to be able to bear a child, and is grateful to the deceased donor's family and surgeons who've given her that chance.
