Seven-year-old Ronnie DeSillers, recovering from a liver transplant, had rosy cheeks and was asking for the special treat of a glass of milk. “His color is returning, color I haven’t seen in seven years,” said Ronnie’s mother, Maria DeSillers. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., boy was listed in critical but stable condition after “a restful night,” said a spokeswoman at Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. The boy, who received national attention when $4,000 raised for the operation was stolen, received the new liver Wednesday.
