Mario was born 4/25/07,diagnosed with Biliary Atresia 6/26/07. 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...

Doing fine, still itchy

Mario had a pretty decent weekend. We kept him home, had some friends around on Sunday. He has been eating better the last few days too. I stopped giving him one medication that I think was giving him D. So, we're happy to have some mellow, uneventful days. He's still itchy, but that is just part of the drill now for the duration until transplant. Hope you are all doing well...happy mid February :)
