Tim, Max and I decided to spend the weekend at our second home in beautiful Avondale, OH at the last minute this morning. What this really means is that Max has been admitted to CCHMC and is scheduled to have surgery sometime this afternoon/evening.
Max woke up huffing and puffing this morning. I was very uncomfortable with it so I contacted Dr. Ben who told us to come on in. I went ahead and told him to get us a room because I knew Max wouldn't be coming back home tonight with the way thngs were going. Long story short, we are waiting in our room on A7 Central for Max's turn to go to the OR to take a look at his catheter. There is a chance they will have to replace it, but they will take a look first to see if there is omentum clinging to the end of the catheter.
Our guess is that he will be in house until the end of the weekend at least. If the surgery goes well and he tolerates dialysis we will be out of here sooner rather than later.
Please continue to keep Max in your prayers. I will update as soon as I get the chance. If you are on Facebook, I am doing updates there more frequently since I can do them on my phone.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Sending happy thoughts your way!
It is obvious from your posts that this has really gotten to be an ordeal.
Those of us not in this situation are certainly counting our blessings more closely, and carrying a sense of helplessness that we are unable to do anything to ease your burden.
Many of us have walked this journey with you since nearly day one and can sense your frustration.
Hopefully, the month plus will go by quickly and without further complications.
Do the best you can and don't apologize to anyone for becoming iritable and frustrated - you've earned that, and they say that venting is a great release for pent up emotions.
You have many friends out here who want to see the finish line to this chapter of his life come up.
