MAX IS COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick note to tell you that Max is getting to come home tomorrow!!!!!! Thank You God!!!!
Kelly & John are rooming in with him in the hospital tonight. They gave them a room on the pediatric wing of the hospital and he is staying with them as if he was at home. They went to a class today to learn about the apnea monitor that he is going home with. He is nursing well and has not lost weight after having his IV removed.

I will update more tomorrow. Please pray for Kelly & John as I'm sure they are very anxious and excited about tomorrow. Thank you so much for respecting their need for bonding time at home with their son. Please continue to communicate with them via the blog.

We will get results from his ultrasound tomorrow. His discharge is pending those results. Please pray that the shunt is working as it should and that the blood has dissipated. Please continue to pray that Max has completely healthy brain tissue and will not suffer any deficits from this experience.

We love you and thank you so much for praying for Max. Please do not stop!!!!

We keep praying,
Karie

He's soo precious in the pictures, but I bet they don't do him justice. =). I'm praying you all get the rest and peace you all need and deserve. Love and hugs to you all 3!!

To the Julian's and Stewarts:
I was so excited to hear Max is getting to come home!!! Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers DAILY. It must be uplifting to hear of so many prayers being raised up on your behalf, but what's even greater is that they are being answered! What a powerful God we serve! The faith, hope, and love that your family has shown has been incredible for ya'll to be going through such a challenging time.
May our God continue his blessings upon all involved in this situation, and especially upon baby Max.

The quote that was on my daily calender today,

"Happiness is being at peace; being with loved ones; being comfortable...But most of all, it's having those loved ones."

I pray that the ultrasound results come back good and that yall will all be able to go home today. Yall have so many people that love you and are still continuously praying. I admire how strong yall have been. I love yall. Give max kisses :)

What great news! I am so excited for y'all! I know it will be such a relief to be out of the hospital and have Max at home where he should be!

Our God is amazing.
Isaiah 63:7 "I will tell of the kindnesses of the Lord, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the Lord has done for us"
He definitely is to be praised for what He has done in Max's life and for all of us. I know Max has been such a blessing in my life already and I haven't even met the little guy!

Y'all are always in my prayers. I love you!

Max,

We have been praying for you, little buddy! Every morning I come to the office, I look you up and see how "God's Little Miracle" is changing and growing! I have been sharing how God has been working in your life with all of my coworkers, and we pray for you in our morning devotions. Your mommy and daddy are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends pulling for you and coming alongside of them! You truly are a blessing, a gift from Heaven! May you continue to grow strong, may you fall in love with Jesus, and may you bring many to Him through your life on this earth! I look forward to meeting you all someday, if not here then in our heavenly home! God bless you all!
