max was born with a narrowing of his airway caused by a double aortic arch. basically, a blood vessel from his heart, grew around his windpipe. max had surgery on july 3rd to divert that blood vessel. after a few days of respiratory treatments from fluid in his lungs, he is busy healing at children's hospital in milwaukee. the doctors thought he'd be ready for release last friday, but our little guy has been having some trouble coordinating his eating and breathing. he is going to spend some time working with the speech therapists to find a feeding method that works best for him. as much as we want max home with us...he is in the best place right now to grow, heal and learn. please keep him in your prayers for a speedy recovery and release!
