We are so thankful to share that the surgeons were able to successfully address the bowel obstruction, and they have now moved forward with the liver transplant.
This is a very long and complex procedure, and it may not be completed until around midnight tonight.
We are overwhelmed with gratitude—
Thank You, Father
Thank you to the donor whose sacrificial gift is making this possible.
Thank you to all of you who are praying.
Please continue to pray:
- For steady hands and clear wisdom for the surgical team
- For strength and protection for Amy’s body
- For full recovery and healing for the donor
- For peace to guard all our hearts as we wait
More updates to come as we’re able. Your support is a gift to our family.
With thanks,
James
