Max's Labs

Max had his tri-weekly (I think I just made that term up) labs today.  Dr. Ben emailed me the results:

Creatinine .3
BUN 20

In a nutshell, this means that Max's kidney is doing exactly what a kidney should be doing. 

In addition to Max's lab report, he is doing fantastic in all other areas as well.  He is walking, running (not really, but he thinks so), sort of eating and getting ready to be tested for preschool. 

Yeah, we met with the Campbell County schools to see if Max would be eligible to start preschool in August.  Max will graduate from First Steps in May.  This is the program he has been in since he came home from the RCNIC.  They provide a speech therapist and a physical therapist that come to the house to work with Max.  After he is finished with this program, he may still need therapy and the school could provide that along with the educational and social aspects of a classroom setting.  So we will be meeting with the school again in mid March to start the testing to see if he will qualify.  It's a big step for Max and for both Tim and I.  I think Tim and I are having a harder time with it than anyone though.  Max needs this though and we will do whatever is in his best interest.

Life is good.  We are ready for Spring so that we can get outside to play rather than being cooped up in our tiny little "rental" home, but life is good :)
