1030AM Mario is fine, he has been moved from the OR to ICU. The doctor said the surgery went well. We are about to be allowed back to be with him. He is highly immuno suppressed and protected these first couple days. We'll be off-line while we're with him. Wanted everyone to know he finished surgery and is doing fine.
730AM The nurse called to say that the doctor is happy with the ultrasound so they are proceeding with the last bit, connecting the intestine. This will take 2-3 hours.
600AM He is still in surgery, the liver is in place, he is stable, they do an ultrasound to check everything then reconnect his small intestine so it will be 3 more hours or so. The OR nurse said that everything has gone smoothly so far.
330AM They just called to tell me they are removing the old liver now and starting to put in the new one. They said he's stable, doing well and the new liver looks great. More news in a few hours.
