Phillips shared on Instagram two weeks ago that she would be receiving a new kidney.

"I finally have my OR date for next week, and I'm so excited to get this kidney transplant!!! I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time," she wrote. "This is major surgery, FSGS is scary, but I'm soooo intensely Grateful for my husband, my daughter, our Family! And my dream come true Donor... This is gonna be such an amazing birthday coming up! A new birth... New start! Here is to good health, and gratitude."

I finally have my OR date for next week, and I'm so excited to get this kidney transplant!!! I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time... My donor is a dream come true, such an amazing guy, so kind, he blows me away everyday! Three years ago he heard people where getting checked and he called, but he kept calling and going in and getting tested! He rolled with the punches from day one and the struggles to get insurance to approve it. It's been a wild ride. Fate finds you, he is a perfect match... Dialysis has been a blessing, and also extremely hard, I got an infection and am on my second catheter. This is major surgery, FSGS is scary, but I'm soooo intensely Grateful for my husband, my daughter, our Family! And my dream come true Donor... This is gonna be such an amazing birthday coming up! A new birth... New start! Here is to good health, and gratitude... πŸ™πŸΌπŸ’ͺπŸΌβ˜˜οΈπŸ‘ŠπŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸŽ‰β€οΈ #FSGS #transplant #newkidney #livingdonor #shareyourspare

Masterson's rep first revealed Phillips' need for a kidney transplant when she was hospitalized after suffering a blood infection in February.

"Bijou was born with small kidneys and has been quietly dealing with kidney disease for the last five years, including being on the transplant list," the rep said in a statement to ET. "In an effort to heal her body she has led a stress-free life with a vegan diet, which eventually wasn't enough, and she's been privately having dialysis."

"She recently found out one of her friends is a match and is optimistic that she will have a transplant soon," the statement concluded.
