Please keep him and my family in your thoughts and prayers We are very excited and nervous at the same time! I will post updates when I get home - I will be in St Louis for a few days but keep him in your prayers!

Lots of prayers for him and your family!!! I do a fair amount of liver tx's at work; it's one of my favorite cases. What's your nephews name for more specific prayers, if you don't mind my asking?

Well, it turns out that when they tried to split the liver (he is only 7 months old, so they were attempting to use a 17 year old's liver - and only use half) that they couldn't properly split the organ so my sister and her family are heading home today to wait for another call. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers And Nikki, for future prayers (because we would love for you to continue to pray) his name is Malakai

I'll pray for a new size appropriate liver, and for the donor's family. And of course, for Malakai and your family.

My cousin had a liver transplant when she was only a few months old as well. (She is now 14 and thriving!) I know how horrible that wait can be! I'll be thinking of you all and hoping that they get a call soon!
