Evening: Ladies and Gentleman, we have poop. Can you hear the collective sigh of relief? I thought about taking a photo for Dave but it seemed inappropriate to violate Mario that way :) I will afterall be keeping the blog pages as a journal for him to read later.

Afternoon: Mario is doing well, he got his catheter out and is peeing freely :) Now we just need to get some bowel movement so we can think about food. He has gas sounds in his belly but needs to pass some gas and stool before we can start food. Other than that, not much to report.

I expect to see nothing less than photographic proof of the first BM.

And yet, another "Yeah for poop!" He is going to hate this part someday when he reads the blog!!

So happy to hear you had another good, quiet day. Hope tomorrow goes just as well!

All our love, Mary and Jody

Now you can call him a Pooper Trooper! Okay, maybe not :) Such great news. I never thought I'd tear up at the mention of bodily functions, but this is something special. Love and hugs to all of you, Jennie
