A Shakopee family is on the way to Florida after receiving a potentially life-saving call to receive a transplant.Little Sidney Markie was born with a  rare genetic disorder that keeps her body from absorbing nutrients through her small intestines.

Without a transplant, the disease can cause liver failure. The only place to get the transplant is at Miami's Children's Hospital. The family finally got the call they've been waiting for saying a donor is available.  

"It's a good news thing but it's very scary adventure. We weren't expecting it," said Courtney Murray, Sidney's mother.

The family said they've been told with the surgery Sidney has a very good chance of living a normal life.
