Kyle Edgerton, superintendent of the Fargo Catholic Schools Network, underwent liver transplant surgery at a Minneapolis hospital Wednesday and is recovering.
"We are thankful that Kyle's transplant surgery went well, and we pray that God will strengthen him and his family as he recovers in the weeks ahead," said the Rev. Gregory Schlesselmann, chairman of the Catholic Schools Network board of directors. "Kyle is looking forward to returning to his office in the fall to kick off his fourth school year with the Fargo Catholic Schools Network. We look forward to that day, as well."
The Fargo diocese had no information to release on Edgerton's condition Friday.
Edgerton, 41, suffers from primary sclerosing cholangitis. The disease scars liver bile ducts, eventually causing blockages that can lead to liver failure, according to the National Institutes of Health
Edgerton was named superintendent of Fargo's Catholic schools in May 2004.
