First of all, thank you for all the encouragement, support and prayers! Tomorrow is surgery day. We will all be heading to the hospital at 5:00am (Eastern time) and surgeries will start around 7:10am. Rebeka will start first with an internal check to make sure everything is looking good for her to receive the liver before they start Matt’s surgery. Matt’s surgery should take about 5 hours and Rebeka’s will take 12 hours. I will try to post some updates throughout the day. Thank you so much for all your love, support and most of all your prayers!
