Max's feeding tube is out!!!!
I talked to my mom tonight and she said that they took Max's NG tube out this morning!!!! He has done well throughout the day taking bottles and nursing. Please continue to pray that his blood sugar will remain stable & above 50. Also please continue to pray for increased strength for Max to be able to tolerate his feedings. He also needs to put some meat on his bones! Please pray for weight gain. He is up to 6lbs 14oz last I heard.
Mom said that they seemed to sleep well for it to be their first night away from Max. Please pray that Kelly & John will continue to have peace and rest.
Please pray that Max will be able to come home soon!!!
We keep praying,
Karie

II Cor 12:9-10
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Kelly and John,
Like hundreds of others, Max and you are constantly on my mind and I am constantly bringing the three of you before our Father in prayer. I will be praying today that the ultrasound results will bring nothing but good news. Max is doing great.
Love you and wish I were there.
Good deal!!! I bet he shook that fist at those doctors...look out world Max is on his way.
"In my distress I called to the Lord, and he answered me..."
Our prayers are continuing for each of you.
We love your sweet family,
Teresa Brooks

Love and prayers,
Jenni and Kevin
Karie,
What a precious sister you are--thank you for doing such a great job on this blog. It is so good to be able to know each day that we as friends and family can get news of what God is doing. May God give you continued time and strength to do this as you take care of your darling Annie and Daniel.
Love,
Gwendolyn
Kelly and John,
The pictures of Max are a joy to look at. Those big beautiful eyes and sweet face. And now to no longer see that feeding tube and to know he is much more comfortable. Thank God for all the progress in Max's health. "The reason I can still find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind: the Lord's mercy. We are not completely wiped out. His compassion is never limited. It is new every morning. His faithfulness is great. My soul can say, "the Lord is my lot in life. That is why I find hope in Him.The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to anyone who seeks help from Him." Lamantations 3:21-25
We love you and your family so much. Ya'll have been a blessing to our life for so long. And now with so many people getting to "know" Max--ya'll are continuing to be a blessing to so many others, even people you don't know.
Love,
Gwendolyn, Ronnie, John, and Rachel
First of all, I want to thank Karie for the daily updates on Max's progress. It has been great to just log on and find out how Max, Kelly, and John are doing. I am so pleased that Max's feeding tube is out. He is ready to grow, grow, grow. I will pray for you all during his upcoming test. I know you all will be home soon.
Love,
Aunt Phyllis
Max looks so good and is doing so well. John and Kelly, you two need to rest as much as possible. I know it is difficult but God has blessed us with all of the improvement in Max and we are so thankful. Praise God! He is so precious and I love him so much. I love the two of you, also, and this is an "ole nanny" telling you to take care of your selves.
Love,
Nanny Di

That is so wonderful to hear - I can't wait to spread the word to our pray chain here in Savannah - they'll be SO excited!!! I know Max will continue to improve daily with the hundreds of prayers going up for him daily!!
That is great news. Praying for each of you daily.
Wonderful news, I am so glad Max got that feeding tube out. Kelly, I remember when Franklin and Anna Katherine had their's removed and I saw their lips for the first time.......oh, what a joy. Praise God and I will be praying for the ultrasound results.

We are soooo excited that the feeding tube is out. What a relief for little Max and the two of you. He is really going to take off now. We know that you can feel the prayers that are still being offered. It is so exciting to see the Lord working as Max is improving.
