The Beginning of the End...

Today, Shannon and I took Max to Seattle Children's to get a blook work-up and to visit with his new "outpatient" nephrology team... and they gave us GREAT NEWS! Tomorrow morning, we will be taking Max back to the hospital for a surgical procedure to remove the catheter line that was installed for dialysis.

We are so thankful for this chapter of Max's journey to come to an end!

Once he recovers from surgery, we will be able to take him hom and give him his first real bath in a month!

We will be continuing to monitor his high blood pressure, which is to be expected for the ned six months, according to his doctor.

We are so thankful that he is finally reaching the last portions of this journey, and we're thankful for your support and prayers.
