Big Day Today!!!

Max had a exciting day today! He got to leave his pod today for the first time (that didn't end in surgery)!!! The RCNIC has a play room for the older babies so that they can get out of their beds and get a look at a different environment. So when I showed up this afternoon they informed me that they were going to be doing this. I was so excited!!! We put him in a stroller and strolled him down the hall and back into the play room. So he also had his first stroller ride as well!

There was a large mirror on the wall at his level- he loved this! He was kind of interested in the toys, but more so with the Child Life woman talking to him. He was hamming it up with her. Very stinking cute!

Also, the nephrology fellow came to talk to me while we were playing and he said that surgery has cleared Max for dialysis. So that will be started tomorrow morning. The fellow also mentioned that his goal for this month is to get his "favorite" patient home!!!! We're keeping our fingers crossed!

Here are some new pictures from over the past few weeks! Enjoy!

Max is sooo cute! What a fun day for the both of you. He looks like a little muscle man lifting weights in one of his pictures.We continue to pray for his homecoming soon.
