Saturday

7PM All is well. Mario has had a bit of a rough day. He seems to churn through pain meds and has been uncomfortable. Beyond that, things are going well. He got his ng tube and his cathitor (sp?) out. So, less tubes to look after...a very good thing. They said we could give him a tiny bit of formula tonight 15 ml every 3 hours...not much, but something! He actually turned it down just now. His little tummy got a little too full from the clear liquids he was having earlier (and threw a bit of it up). Slowing down the pace a bit now so hopefully he can have a bit of formula later.

1130AM The doctor came and talked to Israel late last night. There is really nothing to report except that we have to "wait and see" what happens with that artery and the liver. We're watching his liver function labs and hoping for the best. I keep telling myself that just because they couldn't see the blood flow in the ultrasound doesn't mean it isn't there. I mother can hope.

Nothing wrong with hoping and know that all of us that are reading the updates are hoping too and sending our good thoughts and prayers!!! Mario's a little fighter. Take care.

Love,
Lori

I'll keep hoping with you Phoebe. Those ultrasounds aren't perfect. Lord knows that they sometimes pick up body parts that don't even exist and vice versa. :-) I'm praying for good blood flow.

I believe that there is nothing more powerful in the universe that a mother's love, wisdom, intuition and hope for her child...

Hang in there, we're all hoping with you!
