we started our day with a very messy breakfast before getting ready to head to
milwaukee with
grama for
max's appointment with the pediatric
ent at children's hospital. the plan was for us to see the doctor for our 10:15am appointment and then go meet
ryan and
hayden for lunch. long story short....we finally left the hospital around 12:45. in that 2 1/2 hour visit i was hoping it would end with a "he's doing great. keep up the good work." well, that's not exactly how it went. after them swaddling him and cleaning out his ears for 20 minutes which left him crying and screaming for me to carry him we then waited to talk to the doctor. he explained how he has some concerns and would like max to see a pulmonary specialist and then after that, they will work together to do a
bronchoscopy. for this procedure they have to put max under and use a camera to go past his vocal chords to look at the lower airway. this requires a 23 hours hospital stay. this procedure will help them have a better idea of how soft or collapsed his airway is. it's scary but i know that these docs want the best for max. well, after all of that less than positive ending, we headed to the mall to visit with
ryan and
hayden for a bit.
hayden had a little stuffed elephant to give max from his visit to the zoo. the boys shared some noodles, played around, and even exchanged a hug and some high fives. we even tried to get a picture of them together.
