Exceeded their goals
Dr Benton said that Max has already exceeded their post op goals for him. He is doing well off of the ventilator and they have already given him a little food through his NG tube. They gave him 10cc of formula around 12:00. Their plan was to give him 20cc at his next feeding (around 3pm), then 30cc, etc. The nurse mentioned the possibility of Kelly nursing at 2:30 but they decided to just give it through his tube to conserve his energy. He is still pretty drowsy from his anesthesia. It took Kelly a little while to get him content when they got to his room. Once he got comfortable on her chest he was a happy camper and Kelly hated to move him. The shunt is more visible than Kelly & John anticipated but the doctor said that as he grows and when his hair grows it won't be as noticable.
We are so very thankful for all of the prayers that you have said on Max's behalf today. Please continue as he recovers from his surgery.
We keep praying,
Karie

For truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you. Matthew 17:20
Thank you God for your love for Baby Max and John and Kelly and both families!!! Keep their faith in you strong.
What a blessing Max is a beautiful baby and he is going to be able to tell his story one day as a testimony of God's love for us all.
