PHOTOS FROM MAX!

Mommy has been super busy and very tired lately (wonder why???) but I asked her if she could take a quick second and post some photos. Hope you enjoy! :) Oh and thanks everyone for the many thoughts and prayers this week. I know I have been giving Mommy a hard time...I keep telling my heart and lungs to behave but they aren't listening! Sorry Mom! Anyway, we are deeply grateful for your support!!!

Notice the nasal prongs on my oxygen cannula? That's my lil' trick. I rub my face and pull them out of my nose...and then I desat and Mommy comes running! hee hee :)


This was taken at the farmer's market (by a fan club member!!!) a few weeks ago. I was feeling pretty good that day so Mom thought it might be fun to get out and about. We were having a major case of cabin fever so some sunshine and fresh air (and fun food for Mommy!) did the trick!

Boy, did I have quite the fan club at the market! I was a celebrity! All these really nice strangers came up to my mom asking, "Is this Mighty Max???" Everyone was so excited to meet me!!! They had read about me in the paper and watched my story on the news...and many have been regularly following the blog. Thanks everyone...great to meet you! :)


Here is my Aunt Elizabeth and my cousin Thomas...lovingly nicknamed "Baby Monster" by his big brother. Tom Tom is big, strong and gets around like crazy! He's quite impressive in my eyes.

Can I sport a hat or what???

This is Kim, my speech pathologist. She is helping me with my hearing and speech. AND we have lots of fun together. She and Mommy make all kinds of crazy sounds to get me to turn my head. It's very funny, but they definitely know what they are doing...because I am starting to show progress! YAY for me!

LOOK AT ME!!! :) I am making great strides with my Bumbo seat!!! I can now sit in it for nearly 20 minutes! Mommy is absolutely thrilled with me!!! It has taken nearly six months of daily work but I finally am learning to sit in this seat. (Without the seat, I have a LONG way to go until I can sit...but hey progress is progress!!!)
