This is a picture of Max right after he pulled himself up from his butt to his feet for the first time! No one was in the room when he did it so thankfully Tim walked in while he was still up. I was downstairs when he walked in on him so he yelled for me to quickly but quietly come up to Max's room. I ran upstairs and went into his room. It took me a minute to realize what I was looking at but when I did I immediately got tears in my eyes and ran to get my camera. Saying that I am proud of him is an understatement.
I can't believe how quickly all of this is happening. Life with a healthy child is amazing! He was fun before transplant, but I can't believe how much fun he is now. It's kind of crazy to see all of the new things that he is doing. He is all over the place and we are having to "baby proof" the house for the first time. This new life is awesome and I can't wait to share more milestones with all of you!
Also, Max's kidney is doing awesome! His labs are beautiful and the ultrasound looks great! Despite the fact that it took the blood drawer 6 sticks to get his blood on Friday, the 3 day a week visits are going well. We should be going down to 2 days a week here very soon. Life with a new kidney is going fantastic!
For those of you who have been asking, Summer is doing okay. They ran into some complications during surgery and have been having some problems keeps her fluids under control since. The kidney is working well and she is producing urine. She is still on the vent and are hoping to have her off sometime this week. Laura is exhausted from being at the hospital 24/7 and is having a hard time getting the rest she needs. Dan is doing well and has been discharged.
Have a great week everyone!

Congrats on 300 posts.
Proud to say, I've been here for the vast majority of them and still am happy when new material appears.
Congrats of all of the recent success. You certainly deserve it.
We are all very proud of Max and how fast he is catching up.
Spoke with your dad and Larry/Judy at the 12Mile World's Picnic over the weekend. They too couldn't be happier with how things have worked out.
We have a saying among the Brossart Basketballers that I'd like to share - I think it applies here.
"A few weeks hard work - A lifetime of memories."
You've certainly put in your hard times - cherish your new memories!
