Mario is 3

Mario had a great week in Mexico for his transplant anniversary and had a great birthday Sunday smashing his pinata and finding many monster trucks inside. Renetly Mario has; started to "try" and sometimes succeed in using the bid boy pottie, lost every single toy from his room for hitting his sister after being told not to, earned toys back by having great days as a polite little man, splashed around in the pool with mama, had his first official swimming lesson, "graduated" at school to the Starfish class... the list goes on. In short, he's being quite the "normal" boy. Other than a few sideways glances in swimming at the large scar across his tummy, no one would know he'd been so sick just 2 years ago.

Please take a moment...

...to think of Clinton this week.
Mario received his transplant 2 years ago and is doing fine. We are forever grateful to Clinton's family for the gift of life, their decision to donate. Our hearts go out to them for their loss.
