Yesterday Max's blood test confirmed that his recovery is speeding up!
Sam and I had noticed that he seemed to be feeling better every day. And, his urine was increasing also. The blood test showed that not only is he urinating at nearly 100%, but that the Kidney's are producing urine that is beginning to clear the waste products out of his blood.
This has been a roller coaster of a ride for us. Just Monday, we were told that he'd likely need 2-3 weeks more of Dialysis, and then Wednesday the doctor says we will be dereasing his time on the dialysis machine for Friday, skipping Saturday and Sunday, and rechecking Monday before we start Dialysis!!! This is incredible news. It seems we are now counting down our last few Dialysis treatments!
I am still struggling a bit with Max's new "hospital attitude." He still belives he can yell at me and demand that I do things for him. I have been as kind and as firm as I can be, but at times it is very wearing. Levi and Max also seem to be able to irritate each other much more easily. Let me just say, our house has more whinny noise in it that we have every had.
We will have more information after the blood tests come back Friday. Thank you so very much for all your prayers...we can see the fruit!

Shannon and Sam:
The power of prayer has continued to help Max. Remembering how far he has come. You are a little more tired now that you can let your hair down a little more now. We will continue to pray for patience, understanding and change of attitude. We will continue to keep him on our prayer chain.

Dear Max,
Good Going,
I am proud of the way you are
doing so great. You have been
through so much and the rest of
your family also. You all have
been such an inspiration to Baby
Drews parents. It was truly an act of God that you were in Seattle
together. We will keep on praying
for little Max. What a great boy!
God Bless you and your family,
Andrews Great Grandmother.

Great news - keep headed forward!
Hey, Sam & Shannon: Praise Jesus for his love and mercy. What an ordeal your family has had to endure. We have been praying for Max, and your whole family. We love you guys, and hope the time will pass quickly when all is back to normal again.
Take care, and blessings to all.

Wonderful news!

Thank You Lord!! Great news, and I'm so jazzed for you guys. As Max continues to heal and strengthen, you guys will be able to handle the "hospital attitude" with God's help. Isn't it funny, that even through sickness, a parent's job never ends? :)
How GREAT is Our God!
