Max Update

We had a checkup in Great Falls yesterday.  Max is doing good at the moment.  His growth has slowed, however, and the cerebellum issue is still present, darn it.  Now he is in the 3rd percentile for a little guy his age.  Since his growth is measurably slowing, we will be going in for every-other-day fetal monitoring....goody gumdrops....I just love the hospital.  The doctor said we need to be keenly aware of Max's well-being so we don't end up rescuing him, instead delivering him right when he's ready.  Having never been in that category of women that deliver early, when Dr. Key told me to bring a packed bag next week to my appointment, panic set in. Hard.

Then, he wrapped up the conversation by saying to make sure I was taking it easy at home.

Hahahahahaha ~ I coulda swore that I had mentioned seven other children.

So that's that.  We are looking forward to meeting our little guy next week if that is what happens.  With his brain issues the doctor said his concern is coordination.  We are just praying that he gets the whole nursing thing right off the bat. That will be a strong indication of what the future holds for all of us!

Again, and words simply are not adequate, thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers and your support.  This has been a bit of a crazy ride, especially for someone who loves being in control of every aspect of life.
