Just got the old liver out and putting the new liver in. They have to make all the connections and then ultrasound for bleeding. Once the liver is intact with no problems they will continue with the kidney. To finish the liver is expected to be three to four hours.
Thank you for your prayers. 

Update 6:15 PM

They are in the process of removing the old liver. From prior surgeries there are adheasions and scar tissue that make it more dificult to remove. it is just time consuming.
