Dear Friends and Family,
I am writing to you from the ICU at Georgetown University Hospital with a heart full of gratitude. This Monday, I received the long-awaited call for a liver transplant. Amid the rush of preparation, I felt a profound mix of excitement and anxiety.
The seven-hour surgery was successful, and thanks to the exceptional care from my medical team, the new liver is doing well. Just today, I stood for the first time since the operation and am working towards more mobility each day.
This journey has been deeply humbling and miraculous. I am immensely thankful to the donor’s family whose generosity has given me this second chance at life.
As I look forward to returning home next week, your continued prayers and support are needed, especially as I navigate recovery with limited mobility. I’ll need ongoing assistance with Jayce and support for my mom, and I would be grateful for any help you can provide. Please consider signing up via the spreadsheet linked below to coordinate visits and assistance over the coming months:

Your encouragement and support have been my strength, and I am blessed to have each of you in my life.
Thank you for your continued prayers. More updates to come!
Warmest regards,
Tene’
