MIGHTY MAX'S 10 MONTH BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow Max will be 10 months old...WOW! My how time flies! :) It's been the shortest yet longest year of my entire life...definitely the most eventful!

And on June 22, Max will be ONE year old! I am so excited to throw him a birthday bash and celebrate his amazing victory. That day will also be a great celebration of him being home and finally beating out the six months he spent in the hospital.

It's amazing to think that 6 or 7 months ago we weren't sure if Max would ever reach his first birthday. It seemed as though his body was shutting down and the situation was not looking too promising. There are different studies of life expectancy for CHARGE kiddos...but the two most common report that 20 - 40% of them pass away in the first year, especially those with choanal atresia and heart defects. Max had BOTH of those life threatening conditions.

So this little man we call "MIGHTY MAX" is certainly a miracle...he has surpassed the odds in so many ways and hopefully will continue to do so! I feel confident that he will!

Happy 10 months Maxwell! :)
