THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES, YOU READ CORRECTLY!!! The countdown to Max's homecoming is officially on. NEXT WEDNESDAY IS HIS DISCHARGE DATE!!! Can you believe it??? Can you believe it??? (I have known for a few days but didn't want to jinx myself by telling too many people!)

There is so much planning to do...between final consultations with the many various specialties and training on the equipment and medicines, etc. But we are absolutely 100% thrilled and overwhelmed...and are now officially counting down the days!

YES, Max is coming home for the holidays...he truly is a miracle. If you don't believe in the spirit of Christmas, look into Max's eyes and you will feel the power of love and the Lord. Amazing!

The "only" holdup would be is if Max's cold worsens...so far the infection showed up negative and he is just battling a serious cough and major congestion, which has worsened his breathing. However, he is putting up a good fight and already feeling so much better! Keep up the great work Maxwell...you're coming home!!! YAY!!!

Thank you everyone for the many welcome home cards we have received...will be so fun to have in Max's room. Such loving, positive energy!

Oh, Amy and Max, we are so happy for you two! What a wait it has been and what a wonderful first Christmas TOGETHER it will be!! We'll be praying that you continue to do so well Max, and that nasty cold goes far, far away! We love you! You'll be getting your welcome home note from us in the mail soon! :)
Love, Kate, Jeff, Noah, and Wyatt :)

Amy,

I've been off line for two weeks - we moved to Edmonds. So reading this post brought tears of joy to my eyes! So glad you'll have a blessed Christmas gift this year! You remain in my prayers! BTW, another little Charger will probably join Cameron's class in March. I don't know the family but perhaps they can join our Washington state group. God bless!

So now what are we all supposed to do? We are addicted to Max and learning of his leaps and bounds! I hope you don't stop your blog (although having him home isn't going to leave you much (any) free time!
I am so happy for you right now, I can't wait for you both to be permanant residents of B-ham!
