ADVENTURE DAY

Well, it looks like Max might be getting sick...again! Can you believe it? Nor can I, darnit. His respiratory rate and heart rate started to increase over the weekend, and his oxygen needs increased today too. This usually means something is brewing. So back to the doctor's again tomorrow. He has been living on prednisone for months now (on and off) and we don't want to have to resort to that again. Steroids are not a very healthy long term solution...so hopefully we can come up with something else to help.

Even his four year old cousin Jackson noticed his labored breathing. And so today when Jackson was giving a review of Max's recent milestones (it was absolutely adorable!), he included "learn how to breathe" as a future goal. How smart and wonderful is he??? I just love my nephews and love how much they love Maxwell! :)

At least we were able to fit in two days of fun activity while we could! On Friday we enjoyed a day at the local fair. Some of our neighbors were showing their horses...so we joined them for a lil' adventure!


Max enjoyed meeting a horse for the very first time. I warned him that the horse would probably not enjoy a "Max Attack!" :)

Max was exhausted by mid day...so we headed home.

Great pictures! I'm glad you two got to have such a fun adventure. Hopefully, this new illness will pass quickly so you can go explore even more!
