This is Blaz, a friend of Matthew and Tonia and someone who has watched the two of them go through this amazing, frustrating and trying journey. I love them dearly. Tonia asked me to update everyone on how the transplant went today.
The transplant went without any problems. Both Matthew and Tonia are in good condition. They are in rooms right next to each other in the hospital with their families around them. They are recovering well, they have both been able to stand and walk, though this first day has been painful. It looks like everything went as expected, everyone is very happy and relieved to know they are ok. The next steps are controlling the pain, recovering from surgery and hopefully soon Matthew and Tonia will be able to enjoy life without medical concerns hanging over their heads or holding them back.
Tonia's wonderful Mother has kept everyone in the loop on the recovery today. She snapped the following photo of Tonia walking down the hall just to give Matthew a kiss and boost his moral and ease his pain.
If this isn't a true moment of the love between two beautiful people, I don't know what is.
