Friday

Max is doing much better today. The steroid treatments seem to have helped the strydor and he sounds less like he's being "water boarded."

He smiled today. It was the first time since his surgery that he seemed happy and not uncomfortable.

They've actually stopped his pain medication drip and instead, he gets pain medication regularly, every 6 hours. That seems to be working just fine for him so far.

He still has the tube down his throat and into his stomach, to help keep gas from building up in his belly. He's "tooting" an stinky... so we wait for the poop and hope he'll get to try liquid again, by mouth sometime next week.
