Today was a long day for Team Santos. Max`s surgery didn`t start as early as was scheduled, and it went a bit later than initially estimated. Nothing went wrong, and Maximilian is doing very well. He's a bit uncomfortable and stoned off his rocker, but he's resting well. They had to re-intubate him due to the anesthetic used, but this should be a temporary requirement as they will ween him off in the next little bit. The next few days aren't "troublesome" per se, but he will be closely monitored for any issues that could potentially come into play. For now, however, the surgery seems successful and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better group of medical professionals to see to Max's care. We don't mention them by name (mostly due to their right to privacy) but we can both honestly say that the staff at St. Boniface are beyond professional and extremely good at the various aspects of their job. The main reason Brienne and Rafael generally seem "calm" with all of Max's happenings is because of the staff (and, let's be frank, the nursing staff there is especially amazing) and their confident ability to do their job while keeping us informed and teaching us how to take an active roll in Max's care while he stays there.
He was weighed today and came in at 2930g (6lbs 7oz). He will most likely not gain too much more weight before his next weigh-in as he'll have limited intake for the next few days.
Today was a long day, but we're proud of Max and are glad that the biggest procedures are all out of the way.
