WJAC-TV anchor Tim Rigby, brother, recovering after successful kidney transplant

PITTSBURGH (WJAC) — This Christmas Eve, our family here at WJAC wants to share wonderful news regarding our friend and colleague, Tim Rigby.

As many know, Tim underwent kidney transplant surgery Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Tim's brother, State Rep. Jim Rigby, was a perfect match and was cleared by doctors to donate his kidney to Tim.

Both Tim and his brother, Jim, are doing great.

In fact, Tim said it is unbelievable how much better he feels already.

He said the surgeon says the transplanted kidney is working well and that he would be up and moving a little bit on Christmas Eve.

He sends his warmest Christmas wishes to all.
