Here we go Again

A lot has gone on since my last post in May! I want to try to go backwards and post pictures of most happenings. (as my time allows)

The biggest of all is Max's open heart surgery, which took place on July 11 at MUSC.

His surgery lasted around 12 hours. They gave Josh and I a beeper and kept us updated hourly on Max's progress. He went in around 7:00 am and the surgeon finally met with us after the surgery was complete around 7:30 pm. They successfully repaired everything they had hoped to with his heart!!! Before surgery they warned us they may not be able to repair things in full, which would mean another surgery in the near future. So, we were beyond relieved to get the news. (I apologize, but this is a very abbreviated version of events. It is almost midnight and Max needs to be fed shortly) He had an uneventful hospital stay. Failed a swallow study while there. :( But after 11 days in the hospital he we were able to go home! He is doing much better. He has more energy and is just starting to roll over now! We're working on sitting up. He'll get there, slowly but surely.

 I think he's feeling better

Going home...yay!
