We just got home from having seen Max after his surgery. He was out like a light, but was otherwise doing well. All his vital signs are pinging and ponging the way they should on the machines. The doctors said that everything went as expected and hoped and that there were no complications with the surgery at all. It was pretty much a textbook case of how one of these procedures should go. He’ll have a few days of catching back up with himself while he heals, but he’s expected to come out of this as if nothing had happened – he’ll be able to begin his normal development now.
We visited him again tonight. He’s still doing well. Basically, all of his vitals are the way they want to see them. His chest x-ray already showed some improvement in his lungs, so that’s a good sign. Ideally, he’ll start breathing better than he has been in general and his need for a ventilator will diminish over the next while. We’re already ridiculously proud of the little trooper, so he can take all the time he needs to reach this next goal. We love him.
