Survivor of 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, 1993 bombing undergoes kidney transplant after search for match

A man who survived the World Trade Center bombing of 1993 and the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and was later in need of a kidney donor is now recovering with his family after having successfully undergone a transplant, Fox New has learned.

When they first got the call, Phyllis Savio told the person on the other end that she had to hang up and "needed five minutes" to collect her thoughts, she recalled when reached by phone on Tuesday morning.

"[It] almost feels surreal that this is actually happening. You know, it's something that you dream about happening," she continued. "I truly thought I was dreaming that dream that I got this phone call."
