Please Pray!

I have to make this short and sweet because I need to get to the hospital. Max had a horrible day yesterday. An x-ray showed that Max had so much fluid surround his lungs that it was pushing his heart and lung over where they didn't belong. With that said they tried to needle his chest and only got 3mL of the fluid. Another x-ray right after that showed that the fluid was worse. So, Max had to get a chest tube put in to drain the fluid off. As of this morning 124mL of fluid (over 4 ounces) was drained.

Needless to say, nephrology has decided to put him on hemo dialysis. This means that Max is going in for his 6th surgery to have a different catheter placed in his neck or right under the clavical (sp?). I don't know many details about this dialysis, besides that it is very nasty. We are hoping that it is only temporary. 8-10 weeks of this will give his body time to heal from all of the leaks that he has into his lungs and scrotum.

I will keep everyone posted as I get more information. He is on the add on list for the surgery so it will probably be sometime later today. Please keep him in your prayers. As you all know, a simple surgery is NEVER simple when it comes to Max.

Thank you!
