We got word yesterday that the antibody that was attacking Max's kidney is now gone. It could reappear in a few months, but we will keep a close eye on it. To be honest, that really is the only new piece of information that we have. His creatinine is stable at .4. Everyone is still happy with it since it hasn't gone up. We have increased Max's Cellcept which is one of his antirejection medications, so it is possible that his creatinine could show a decrease in his labs on Friday.
Speaking of Friday, Max's forth and final IVIG infusion is at 9am this Friday morning. He has done very well with each infusion. We are hoping that this is the final treatment regimen that he needs to nip this rejection in the bum. Please pray that this is the end of this bump in the road.
Other than that, I will let these two videos tell you what else is going on in the life of Max. The first one is of him and his slap happiness after a 6 hour day in a hospital bed hooked up to an IV without a nap. It's very contagious so watchout :) The second video is just a little something new that our little man is doing. Hint: a new pair of braces + a new walker = success!

You are such amazingly strong Mom and Dad. What you have done for Max and how he has flourished is a true gift from you that he'll never fully understand... but isn't that the case with everything us parents do for our children :) God Bless Your Happy Home!
