Not too much to report

It's been awhile so I figured I would get on and let you all know that Max is doing very well. He is still fighting the bug that he got while in the hospital. Nasty cough and runny nose. He doesn't act like he doesn't feel well though.

His heart rate is beautiful, you can't tell he is breathing when he is sleeping anymore, and his catheter seems to be working better as well. So we will call the diaphragmatic hernia repair and 8 days in the hospital a SUCCESS! Everyone seems to be very happy with it. He will have a followup xray, I believe next week, to see how things are looking. I'll keep you posted on this!

Physical therapy started back up last week and speech therapy starts back up tomorrow. Fingers crossed that he continues to like to eat.

We have some prayer requests:

Please prayer for Jared Shilds. Most of you have probably heard his story, but he was admitted to Children's Hospital over the weekend for a fever and severe leg pains. It ended up being a bacterial infection that almost took his life on Sunday morning. He seems to be showing a little bit of improvement today, but is still not out of the woods. They expect him to be in the hospital for several weeks.

Please put little Audrey in your prayers as she undergoes surgery tomorrow morning. She is having three procedure done that will hopefully give her mommy and daddy some much anticipated answers to their questions.

Please put little Noah in your prayers as he undergoes surgery on Wednesday.

I hope all of you have a great week! The countdown to Max's first birthday has officially begun! I can't believe it. What a year!
