There is this stuff called Nistatin (some medicine to keep from getting sores, yeast infections in the mouth). It smells icky...but Mario was so happy to have anything at all to suck on... The only nutrition he gets right now is through his IV still for another day or so. The nurse is getting a good chuckle out of giving Mario the Nistaton (sp?) on a sponge stick...he sucks on it. cute
p.s. Our nurse, Michelle, is from Australia and one of Mario's docs is English and the 3 of us have been having good fun with languages today. Makes me miss all you Aussies :)

So cute. If the poor little thing is loving Nistatin you know he is parched.

I remember how much Treyton loved hat Nystatin! Sucked that thing like it was not only the last taste he would ever get of anything,..but also like it was the best thing on earth!
Glad to see those big beautiful eyes! I am glad you have that frame of mind I spoke about at LF.

What beautiful face of resilience! I hope that there is more hugging and holding in store for you both today. Great news that his temps are staying down. I echo Shannon's advice, one breath at a time...
Lots of love,
