Friday

4PM Mario was moved out of ICU and onto the main surgery floor. This is where he knows all the nurses, has spent many days already. Sort of like "normal" in a weird way. We haven't had the official update from Mario's doc about the artery from the ultrasound today yet. He has been in surgery (like I said, he lives there). We do know that the radiologist had trouble finding flow in the hepatic artery. This is not good news...but hard to know exactly what it means yet. One day at a time now until we know...10AM Liver numbers still coming down (good), fever didn't return, cultures all negative (good). Mario's eye's are white again! He's doing really well, had a poop last night and might get some pedialyte later today. We're going to do a follow-up ultrasound today so I'll update after that. Otherwise, Mario continues to look better and better, so they are talking about getting us out of ICU.
