Post surgery

Because I was so overwhelmed and never got around to an update on here... yes, surgery went well for Max on Friday. It was a scary start, but he did really well and did not require much anesthesia at all.





He was waking up just a few hours after surgery, but not enough to continue breathing on his own. Troy and I left him around 10 and came home to the kids. By midnight, the nurse called to tell us he was awake, extubated (off the vent) and he'd be eating by 4:30 that morning.








Today, he's back up to full feeds, pooping, smiling and breathing completely on his own! He passed his car seat test this weekend and once he finishes his antibiotics Monday, they'll pull out his final IV. We should be able to bring him home on Tuesday.


It's been 121 days today, more than 4 months of this crazy chaos, and we are so ready to start the next chapter!
