3:00PM Dr Reyes was here, he is happy with Mario's progress against the infection. It seems his body has done a good job of sealing it off within the liver. He's still having some fevers but the blood cultures have been clear now for 2 days. Reyes was hoping for this so that we can go into surgery with the odds in our favor (lower the risk of spreading the infection to the new liver). He is still working on the logistics and said it could be at any time, he can't tell us when, but we'll have ~12 hours notice. Hard to deal with the ambiguity, but we just have to be ready. He has 20 years of experience doing this, so we certainly want him to tell us when the time is right!
Hard to believe that this kid has nasty bacteria eating the dying part of his liver. Look at him! My son is an inspiration that is for sure. Surgeon should be here this afternoon to give us the timing/plan.

He is a fighter. How a child can sit up when they are going through all this is amazing. I am sending prayers and continued strength to Mario, you and your family.
Saludos Phoebe, Israel, Eva y Mario.
Mucho animo!

My family is checking this blog multiple times a day now. So again, we are sending all our positive thoughts and prayers to Mario, and Israel (dad of the year!!!!) and too you Phoebe, and Eva! I should say Family of the year! You are all an inspiration, and little Mario continues to fight, and amaze us all! That beautiful smile in all those pictures warms our hearts, and we cannot wait until he is out of the hospital, and up here for a visit!

I love that last picture. He's not smiling, but boy, does he look determined! :) He is an inspiration, and it's no wonder, with parents and a big sister like he has. Love you all, Jennie
