anonymous organ donor so selflessly gave to save not one, but two little babies. >> they were part of the world's first domino heart transplant in infants at new york presbyterian hospital we are going to meet these precious babies and their parents in just a moment but first, how one heart became gold for these two families. >> we found out i was pregnant for the first time it was so exciting we were overjoyed. >> reporter: samantha and andres of roosevelt, new jersey, were college sweethearts. sam a teacher and andres a police officer were preparing for the birth of their first daughter brooklyn when doctors noticed something wrong with the baby's heart. >> it was very heart hard you just don't like imagine that when you find out that you're pregnant >> reporter: baby brooklyn had an extremely rare condition. instead of two heart valves pumping blood to the rest of the

body, she only had one they learned that after brooklyn's birth she would need a partial heart transplant to survive. >> it was terrifying they gave us a lot of information that we didn't quite understand >> reporter: and one state away, in new york, nicole, herself a nurse, and james were doting parents with their newborn baby girl mia when at ten days old, nicole noticed something off. >> she did this fast breathing i saw it and i couldn't unsee it i kept telling her to doctor after doctor everyone kept telling me it was fine. >> reporter: nicole knew something was not fine. call it a mother's intuition soon her fears were confirmed. >> i realized she was in heart failure. >> reporter: they were told mia would also need a heart transplant to survive. each baby found their way into the care of new york presbyterian morgan stanley children's hospital, where they were both in a race against time for a new heart.

>> having days where you feel like it is never going to come, it is the hardest part. >> reporter: seven months into ththe agonizining wait, ththe fy got ththe call thehey were waiag for. >> the timing was actually very serendipitous. i received a donor offer for mia at about 2:00 in the morning. >> i was sleeping. nicole grabs me like, james, james, dr. lee is on the phone we found a donor. >> reporter: in an incredible twist, the family also got a call. >> the next morning we reviewed brooklyn's case. i said i'm doing a heart transplant tonight and mia's valves actually work perfectly maybe we should do this as a domino. >> reporter: a heart domino had never been done before in babies. >> a domino transplant is when one patient is both the recipient of a transplant and also becomes the donor for another transplant.

>> reporter: so mia would get a heart transplant allowing her to donate the working valve from her old heart to brooklyn. they did not hesitate to offer mia's valves to brooklyn >> a few hours later, we were on the turnpike heading up north and she was in surgery >> reporter: after nine grueling hours, the medical team had great news both surgeries were a success. >> the momoment they t told us the heart t was implananted in r and was working g well, i don't think therere is really anything that can describe it. >> reporter: soon the families were a able to meeeet. >> words can't't explain h how we apprereciate you u guys. >> reporter: a and two weeeeks later, both mia and brooklyn were headed home mia with a new heart, and brooklyn with a part of mia's. >> if you think about it, they got such incredible news and they were able to think of somebody else in that moment with. >> one of the nurses said that

brooklyn will always have a piece of mia's heart it makes it feel like we waited so long for a reason >> my goodness so joining us now, we have nicole and james, along with baby mia, who has been talking all morning. we have samantha and andres here with baby brooklyn and also joining us we have dr. mark richmond from new york presbyterian morgan stanley children's hospital. welcome to all of you. and thank you all for coming in this morning so is this the first time you guys have been reunited in a while then >> yes, yes. >> how does it feel? i feel like you guys are forever family, forever linked. >> yeah. >> it is amazing i feel like, you know, it is an honor to be in the same space with people who have been through a similar struggle it's amazing seeing them again >> and, nicole, james, was there any hesitation and you as well. i didn't mean to leave you out, mia. was there any hesitation when the doctors said, you know what, we'd like to use part of mia's heart to help another child.

>> no. there was no hesitation at all. >> never. >> we had waited so long for that gift so be able to give to somebody else was just -- it made the moment that much more special. >> dr. richmond, i've learned so much this is the first time a domino heart transplant had ever been done in babies can you explain why this is such an important medical break-through? >> yeah. the valve transplant part, using the valves from mia to get to brooklyn really changes the treatment for children with severe valve disease normally that life is multiple open heart surgeries. >> as they get older. >> as they get older because the valves don't grow with them. but now with freshly transplanted valves, they should grow with brooklyn and the future really save these children from multiple, multiple surgeries. >> wow >> and here is the thing, samantha, andres, when you get that call, they call and they say we want to try something on

brooklyn that we've never tried before what did you think in that moment >> yeah. at first, we were kind of overwhelmed, like absolutely not. but once we talked to her cardiologist and her previous surgeon, we had so much trust in them, and we knew that if they were saying that this was the right thing to do, you know, we should just go for it. >> and mia is 11 months now, right? and brooklyn is how old? >> almost 6 months. >> how is she doing? >> she's doing well. >> clearly >> you could see she has quite the personality on her but, yeah, she's been doing really well. we have been home for almost three months now or just about three months post transplant, and she's just thriving at home. we're very happy >> and how is brooklyn >> yes, same she's doing amazing. >> the reality is, as we sit here and have this conversation, we wouldn't be here had it not been for the heart-breaking loss of another family who lost a little one

what would you say to that family who sacrificed that original heart for this domino effect >> they are probably the strongest people that we have ever known. >> yeah. >> i think they're just remarkable that faced with such -- a serious time where they lost something and to give to someone else is just unbelievable. >> very grateful very selfless. and to be able to choose life in such a time of darkness is heroic >> we have first birthdays coming up. >> we do. >> any jubilees planned? >> we have a lot to celebrate. we didn't know what the first birthday would look like, but this is the best case scenario we're home we're doing well. >> by the way, we have a shot. i think we have a shot of your -- there they are >> look at this! >> they're out on the plaza to

welcome to "today's table" series. joining us is the executive chef and owner of pig beach barbecue locations. in two weeks louisville. we were all recently at your place here in historic queens, me and the crew, and had such a today, we will take a look at that pig beach vibes for people watching to make a delicious summer steak sandwich. where are we starting with that? >> just a collection of usually herbs and spices and garlic and onions. in our bowl, we have chopped parsely.

>> i immediately think the steak will be skirt or flank, something in that world. >> yes you can put it on anything but it works really well with the flavors of skirt or steak. thin, chary, fatty meat. >> yep >> in our bowl, we have parsely, mint we add some shallots, some garlic, a little bit of chili flake. >> i added cilantro to mine. >> you can put that. basil, anything you want that's the beauty of this. however spicy or hot you want it some dried oregano ground black pepper. salt all the guys lemon zest and then we add lemon juice, olive oil and red wine vinegar if you don't mind, give that a mix for me the great thing about this keep it in your fridge don't be worried if the color starts to change, that's all right you don't need to blend this. >> i always blend it you can make a pure out of it. right there is absolutely perfect. >> what is the amount of time? >> ideally for skirt steak or

something thin is about an hour is all we need we will reserve half of that for the other half right into our zip lock bag and we will refrigerate that overnight all those flavors get into that steak. just let it marinade just like that next up, we will make a dijonaisse here. in our bowl we have mayonnaise more garlic. sugar. sugar will help round out that mayonnaise ground black pepper. salt lemon, zest and lemon juice. again this is another condiment. put this in your fridge. this will keep far long time >> if you didn't want to deal with this part, what do you use? >> this really helps round out all our incredible flavors. in that sandwich so now we have our skirt steak over here. and what we're going to do, get our grill hot, hot cooking on one side and cooler heat on the other. it's called zone grilling. very important step in grilling. >> high on one side and low or

off on the other. >> yes why i love that, it gives you the ability to finish cooking that steak without burning or overcharring it. we want to get a good char and then put it to the cooler side, let it cool and let the temperature slowly rise up so next, we'll come over and let our steak rest on our cutting board. we want to slice our skirt steak against the grain. now, you can see on this particular cut of meat, the lines go up like this. when you slice it, you want to slice against the grain going the other way so the meat doesn't look like the lines going in here. then we'll have this >> so against the grain doesn't literally mean perpendicular to the grain. >> exactly if you think about it, the meat strands kind of go this way, like you are pulling across this way. >> how good is that, guys? >> amazing. >> by the way, matt, jacob recently -- >> i'm back,>> you gotgo to the sideby >> oh,god! that's amazing. >> 45 nds.

>> so grilled chabata bread. if you don't have chabata bread, whatever you want. make it delicious. take all this marinade, skirt steak, piled up high got some cheese, caramelized onions herbs, cheese. some of that dijonaisse on the top and get that nice. chimichurri that we reserved pile it high with arugula. yeah peppery, delicious and there you have it. >> oh! cut that up for your friends >> oh, baby. >> you want to buy all these ingredients go to today.com/todaytable another reminder, today earns commission from purchases made from the link. coming up next, a live performance from the main behind the biggest streaming country debut of all time. bailey zimmerman is here and we'll hear some music. but, first, this is "today" on nbc.
