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...

He looks great!
Funny, Dave, funny!
We figured "no news was good news". Glad to hear all is going well. I love his chubby little cheeks! We had no doubt your life was full and hectic currently but glad things are getting back to normal for all of you!
All our love, Mary and Jody
PS..Maybe down the road we can plan a BBQ for "Team Mario" to celebrate all of the missed birthdays and milestones (when summer finally gets here!)
