Surgery

Max just went down for surgery around 2:45. It will be 5:30 or later before we expect to know anything.

They plan to repair the 2 surgeries and reduce the two hydroceles as well.

He gave us a scare as they were loading him into the transport. He crashed, dropping his heart rate into the 30's and his oxygen to around 16. They were able to bag him and bring him back.

It was a more of a mechanical problem than anything, something was not working properly on the portable ventilator and he is too sedated to breathe for himself.

Just a reminder of how fragile he is and why, even this "band- aid" surgery is life threatening for his little body.
