With emotions too big to describe, we wanted to share the most incredible news: Jacob has a match for his new heart and liver! Hiss transplant surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 5 am. We anticipate surgery to last between 16 and 24 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are so overwhelmed with gratitude and hope. As we walk into this miracle, we are asking for all the prayers you can spare. Please pray for Jacob’s strength, for the surgeons’ steady hands, and for a smooth and successful surgery. Our hearts are also overflowing with gratitude for the donor family. In the midst of their own unimaginable grief, they have made the selfless decision to give the gift of life. We will be forever humbled by their generosity. Please hold this hero’s amily in your prayers. We are so thankful for our amazing team of doctors and nurses who have fought alongside us to get to this day. We will update you all when we can. Thank you for being on this journey with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
