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...

CMV Positive

Well, Mario has tested positive for CMV. You can see what this virus is at this link

I've read a lot about this and we of course knew that it was a high probability, but still frustrating. Mario will go back on an antibiotic and we'll do another lab draw next week to see if the level goes up or down.

Send him some good thoughts :)
