"Is everything okay with Abby?"

"That soon?" It's Friday now.

"She's strong enough. But Jayden Brennan was not a match. We won't proceed Monday if I don't have a

"Winona, I can't operate that soon unless we have the blood. The risk of reinfection and rejection is too. high. Abby might not get through recovery."

"But if she doesn't have the operation on Monday?"
