"Modern Family" star Sarah Hyland says she had a second kidney transplant last year, replacing a kidney from her father with another from her brother. The 28-year old, who has appeared on the ABC sitcom "Modern Family" since she was 18, was born with kidney dysplasia, which causes cysts to grow on underdeveloped kidneys. "When a family member gives you a second chance at life, and it fails, it almost feels like it's your fault," Hyland said. "I only cared about Sarah knowing that I had her back and that she was going to be OK," 23-year-old Ian Hyland told Self. Hyland had the second transplant in September of 2017, and is struggling to adjust to her changed body, but overall is recovering well.
