The fight before surgery

Max is down in surgery now. He just left us at 3 p.m. It took longer than expected to load him into the transport, because he was awake, mad and fighting to get the vent tube out of his throat!

They gave him a 3rd dose of BOTH sedatives and finally calmed him down. It was hard to watch and to hold his face and hands and try to stop the struggling... but he's a baby and babies cry, so it was somewhat normal, and made it less fearful for me, sending him away.

I guess he was just showing us what a little fighter he really is... we should know that by now.
