An Amazing Thing!

In an amazingly selfless act, Jake's wife Chrissy donated a portion of her liver to a 9 month old baby girl.  A local family put a petition on facebook looking for donors for their baby and Chrissy saw the petition and met all the initial requirements.  After being tested she was a match for the baby.  Within a month Chrissy was having surgery to donate a portion of her liver, she is back at home and doing fine.  The doctors would know within 15 hours whether or not the baby would reject the liver and she did not reject it, she is currently doing well in Toronto where she will be staying for the next 4-6 weeks.
In recognition of this wonderful thing, the company will covering the 2 1/2 half days that Jake took off to drive his wife to Toronto and be there for her surgery as a goodwill corporate donation.
