Mario is fine

He woke up and looked at us, interacted, good sign. He'll be in ICU for some time now but he's doing very well considering he has just been through a 12 hour surgery. No visitors necessary at this point, let's give him a couple days to get his breathing tube and some of the lines out. He's a bit of a shocker to see now anyway :) Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. He got his gift and is doing fine. Now we prepare for the next phase of this adventure. We'll update more tmrw, for now, know that he is in great hands and doing well.
