His oxygen silly! Can you believe it??? It was a temporary trial on Friday and he PASSED!!! He went five hours without being on oxygen...it was absolutely incredible!!! I had not seen his sweet face tube free for that long of a time...EVER! So of course I snapped many, many photos and smothered his "tube free" cheeks with lots of kisses! :)
I think it goes without saying that this is a HUGE step for Mighty Maxwell. HUGE!!! :) We are trying to slowly wean him off oxygen and see how he does. But we also have to be concerned with his pulmonary hypertension, which requires some oxygen despite good saturations. I am putting calls into cardiology and pulmonary today to get their latest thoughts on how I should proceed. Right now he is on just a tad of O2 (the least amount that he has been on post heart surgery) and doing great...hopefully this afternoon we will do another successful tube free trial!!! GO MAX GO! :)

He looks amazing!! Yeah, Max!! Hope he continues to make such great strides, and keeps being able to head toward taking away as many tubes and wires as possible. We think of both of you often and wish we could be there. My boys can't wait to play with Max someday!
Love, Kate, Jeff, Noah, and Wyatt :)
Wow!!!! That is HUGE! Good luck with today's oxygen-free trial. He sure does look cute.
