Post surgery update



Engraftment back to 15% but we're still praying for a significant raise!
Max's surgery on Tuesday went really well, thank G-d, but everything just took a lot longer than was expected so we got home pretty late on Tuesday night. Max's central line was removed and instead he now has a port, so in a few days he will be able to take a bath and live happily without a stupid line hanging out of him. The port is like a central line, but entirely under the skin, when it is in use, an attachment is hooked into it and it works the same way. I'll post pictures to clarify this later. Here are some pictures from Tuesday. Enjoy!

  1. Congratulations on all of the successful surgeries. Removal of the Broviac must feel great. We are looking forward to the day that are little Nan gets his out. He has had the darn thing for 20 months!

    My family thinks of little Max often. Continued prayers that his engraftment goes up.

  2. Thank You! I am so happy to hear from you! I was looking at the halloween pics and Nan just looks adorable. We love having the port instead of the c-line after 15 months. I can't wait to give Max a real bath! I'm happy to see that Nan is doing great!
