Mario was born 4/25/07,diagnosed with Biliary Atresia 6/26/07. BA is a disease (~1 in 15K births) that causes inflammation/obstruction of the bile ducts resulting in back up of bile in the liver which destroys the healthy liver. 7/1/07, Mario had a surgical procedure called a Kasai and was added to the Liver transplant waiting list on 12/4/07. He received his first gift on 3/23/08 but was relisted due to a clotted hepatic artery. He received his second gift on 4/14/08. This is his story...

Now THAT is a beautiful sight! Sorry he's back on the NG tube, but bile in the tummy is probably good, right? Here's hoping for even more smiles. Love , Jennie
What a beautiful picture! It is so good to see him smiling! If the NG tube makes him feel better then it is a good thing. Thanks for posting such a wonderful picture! We can't wait until we can visit and see all of you!
Lots of love, Mary and Jody
I forgot to mention that when I saw the picture from Friday, boy does he look like Eva in that shot! First time I have seen the big resemblance.
