BA is a disease (~1 in 15K births) that causes inflammation/obstruction of the bile ducts resulting in back up of bile in the liver which destroys the healthy liver. 7/1/07, Mario had a surgical procedure called a Kasai and was added to the Liver transplant waiting list on 12/4/07. He received his first gift on 3/23/08 but was relisted due to a clotted hepatic artery. He received his second gift on 4/14/08. This is his story...

Wednesday July 4th

Wednesday: Mario got to eat today. Only half ounce at a time to start and up to one ounce just now at 3PM. But food! So he is happy. Going down ok so far too.

Having wireless issues but will try to update more tmrw. Seems the helpdesk is closed for the holiday. Love and happy 4th to all, Phoebe
