VERY SICK - MAX IS INTUBATED

Max is very, very sick. Within an hour of being transferred to the ICU, his fever continued to rise and he was very lethargic even during procedures.

His fever has reached 106, which is frightenly high for anyone and particularly such a weak little baby. There was an emergency intubation (insertion of breathing tube) to help him breathe and hopefully bring down his temperature. As I write this, they are putting in yet another line to his chest area for a specific heart drug. I had to step out of the room basically because there are that many nurses and doctors in there. We are in "isolation" until more of his tests come back.

I am sorry I am not able to call more of the family members individually, but I simply don't have the energy. I will do my best to give you an update soon. If you must know sooner, you can reach us in the PICU.
