August 9th

Here is a cute photo taken today of Eva reading to her brother. She has been showing LOTS of interest in anatomy and doctor stuff lately, more than before. So, she has a bunch of new kid books about anatomy and the body. The book she is reading in the photo is one of her "BOB" books, all 3 letter words that she is learning to sound out.

Mario is still eating well, doing well. We have an appt to do blood tests again next week and meet with the GI on the 20th. He said we will probably do another HIDA scan to see how well the Kasai is working and give us some idea how long the procedure should last. I've been doing lots of research and have found a number of adults in their late 20's, even 30 years old that have only a Kasai and haven't yet needed a liver transplant. So, we're hopeful that Mario will be in that successful group. Only time will tell!

Love to all, Phoebe
