Kidney Disease & Transplant
In 2012, Sarah revealed as she reported to Seventeen Magazine & Good Morning America that she had a secret long battle with kidney disease since she was the age of nine. She hid her pain by sitting down and/or texting in character while filming. To make matters worse, she couldn't get a transplant until her pain got worse which it eventually did. So she set out to find a donor or she's history. Then a miraculous moment occurred, she learned that her father Edward James Hyland was the perfect donor; so she finally got the deserving transplant she was hoping for on April 22, 2012. Sarah recovered over the summer of 2012 while her current hit show was on summer break.[1][2][3]
