Day 20 - Life Continues and Max is Improving

As I write this is, I am in Everett, WA, at Max's Grandma's house. He and I are spending the morning here before going to Seattle Children's for his dialysis treatment.

Shannon and Levi are up in Bellingham as Levi starts school today.

Max is still improving at a slow but steady rate. His urine volume is increasing at a steady pace, and we are hopeful to see this continue! He will continue to come back to Seattle Children's on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (if needed) until everything is back to a normal level.

This morning has been a sluggish one. Unlike the last few mornings, he has risen without a lot of energy and all he wants to do is hang out on the couch.

On behalf of my family, I want to say thanks to everyone who is continuing to pray, to send cards, to show support, etc... it means the WORLD to us.

Good morning!

Glad things are getting better.

This would be the perfect time to ask for a Wii from dad if you don't already have one. :) You can tell him it will help you get your strenght back and stuff.

Still praying for you alls...

Max, Our family is so happy to hear of your progress. You are in each of our prayers.
Sam and Shannon, Thankyou for being so diligent in posting so we can know how to pray. May Jesus continue to encourage and give you the faith to "see Him in the front of your boat with you in the midst of the storm".

Hey Max,

We are so glad you are getting to sleep at home and at your grandmother's house.

Here in Texas Hill Country, we are still praying for you and your family.

Hello Max and Family!

Wow, doesn't it feel awesome to be out of that hospital bed?? And to have some good home cooked food too! We are praying for you, your brother Levi, and your Daddy and Mommy. How is Levi liking school? Does he tell you all about his day? Does he have a girlfriend? I heard you picked some raspberries and made a pie with your Grandma and your Mommy. Boy, that sounds really yummy!

God bless you and your family!

Take care.
Your Friends,
