Quiet

Evening: Dr. Healey gave a thumbs up on the ultrasound. I haven't seen the official report yet, but thumbs up is good. His tacro level is high (anti rejection meds) so we need to watch that. His oxygen levels are improving. Nothing much more to report!

Afternoon: Things are still mellow. Got one of the drains out. Israel is holding Mario now and I'm going to take Eva for sushi. She needs some mommy time. Mario is still on some extra oxygen, but otherwise doing quite well. I'll update later tonight if there is anything to report.

Morning: We had a mostly quiet night, working to get the mix of pain meds just right so Mario is comfortable. He's also retaining fluid so we're watching that and they'll give a diaretic if necessary. He's on a bit of extra oxygen but still breathing well on his own. We'll do another ultrasound today and might remove one of the drains from his belly and his PICC line. Trying not to predict anything this time, just taking it one day at a time. Today he's doing well.

No news (or very little) is good news. Hope you're all getting a little rest, and please give Eva a big hug from us, too. Can't wait to have sushi with you all again!
Love, Jennie

Hi- this is Gimena, Gracie's mommy. We briefly met at Bright Horizons, before Mario left. I've been following Mario's development in your blog, he is such an amazing little person and you guys are incredible parents. Keep hanging in there, little Mario has his own angel and he'll be fine!
