Laura Morgan

Laura Morgan is the mother of Samantha Morgan, a patient at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital.

History
Laura's daughter, Samantha, was born with idiopathic neonatal cardiomyopathy. 77 days later, she was status 1B for a heart transplant. When a call from UNOS came in, Laura immediately wondered if it was the heart for Samantha. Stephanie informed Laura and Noah that a heart had become available, but since Rhys's condition had worsened in the OR, it would be going to him.

Familial
Laura stayed with her daughter in the NICU while she waited for a heart transplant. When the available heart went to Rhys Rutstein instead, Laura was devastated as she knew her daughter was dying.

Friendships
While in the NICU with her daughter, Laura developed a friendship with Noah Rutstein, whose son, Rhys, was also in the hospital. They stayed with each other while the doctors reported on their children, saying it helped to have a second set of ears for all the medical jargon. When they saw Stephanie Edwards approaching after a call came in from UNOS while Rhys was in surgery, they automatically joined hands. Their relationship was tested when the heart, instead of going to Laura's daughter, went to Noah's son. When she saw Noah watching over his son after his heart transplant, she went over to reassure him that Rhys wouldn't reject their heart and placed her hand on top of his.
