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...

That is great news. And I imagine holding him will be the best thing in the world for both of you :)
Lots of love, Jennie
Sweet boy! I hope that ultrasound is all good news tomorrow! He looks great for everything he has been through the last couple days. You are all amazing. We are keeping you in our prayers. Love, Scheri & family
Such great news!
How wonderful for you all to be able to hold your boy again!
Thanks for the picture too - so good to see him! You forgot to mention that they stretched him in the surgery - he looks so tall?! And handsome, as always! I hope that Eva made it to see him today! Let us know if you need anything! Here's to good blood flow! xoxo - P's

He looks good! Such a sweetie and I am so happy you get to hold him. Make sure you shower him with kisses from everyone!
Lots of love, Mary and Jody
I am so glad he is doing so much better - that will be an impressive scar that he will get to brag about when he grows up! I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that all the tests and ultrasounds come back good!
Cheers,
Helen
