Update on my brother

I posted a while ago about putting TTC on hold because of the possibilty of having to give my little brother half of my liver, and I just wanted to give a tiny update, with (of course) another little request for T&Ps.
So, he has his surgery scheduled for March 9th. He will be having an endoscopy, a liver biopsy, and they will be making a tiny nic in his heart to try to reduce the pressure on his liver. The good news is his liver specialist got some more test results from the Mayo, and she is pretty sure hes in stage three.. which isn't wondeful, but its managable. He wouldn't need a transplant until stage four. We won't know for sure until the 9th, but FX!
I shared that we are TTC with my mom, and she was so supportive. She encouraged me to keep trying, especially since it could be some time before my brother needs my liver. My parents are retired and live less then a mile away, and they will be a huge help when the time comes.
So thats everything, I think. If you could keep my brother in your T&Ps, especially on the 9th, I would be very grateful. He is such a strong and amazing person, but I can tell he is getting pretty nervous.. and thats tough. Because of his heart, any time he has to go under there is a risk. Thanks!!
