Our nephew Jason and his mother Nellie (photo 1) are both undergoing serious surgery in Madison, Wisconsin right now. Jason (photo 2, with his wife Hannah) went into surgery at 8:30 this morning. The surgery, which involves removing 2/3 of his liver and perhaps his gallbladder, is expected to last about 8 hours. His mother Nellie (married to Mike, pastor in the HRC at Plymouth, Wisconsin), who has suffered from a poorly functioning liver for many years, entered a 10-16 hour surgery at 10:30 this morning, which involves replacing her liver with Jason’s and recreating bile ducts from parts of her intestines.
If all goes well, both will spend a day or two in ICU, and then go to the regular transaction floor for about five days for Jason and up to 2 weeks for his mother. Thanks in advance for your prayers!
