John sent me an email a few days ago:
“We went to the transplant center yesterday and met with Sarah's transplant surgeon.
He and the surgeon he teams with are trained in partial transplants and do one or more a
week, which is what you want in surgeons. Sarah's will be routine….
This is a low-risk transplant. The chance something terrible goes wrong is 1 to 3%”
There is a strong team of dear friends to support both Sarah and John.
I will post updates to reach as many folks as possible here, Facebook, Messenger and email.
Sarah sounded very strong and upbeat when I spoke with her just now, she's ready to ace this one!!
Love to all,
Kate
