From Tracey:

I just thought I would give a quick update on Max. He had surgery for his malrotation on Friday night and we spent just a short time in ICU that evening before being transferred to the floor but it was just for close observation with him being such a little guy. He has done wonderful and surprised us all by showing signs of being ready to eat a day before expected. After we started feeds again he had a little respiratory distress yesterday so we got some tests ran that show he has a couple of other small things going on that he will eventually grow out of. One being that he has severe reflux that is causing the milk to go into his lungs and the other being a small problem with weak muscles in his trachea which is another cause for his distress. I am so relieved we found these things out before we left the hospital. Both of these things are fixable with meds and thickened feeds. We got discharged today which was such a nice surprise and he is sleeping great in his own bed right now and looks very peaceful and comfortable. Thank you for all of your support and prayers. This has been a tough time for us as well as for Brooke as she has been shuffled about and wondering where her parents and brother have been. Please continue to pray for our family as we adjust to all of these changes.

love,

Tracey and Josh, Brooke & Max
