Max Turns 2!

Max turned 2 on April 11!  He is doing really well.  He is off anitbiotics from the fusobacterium necroformans that caused his epidural abcess and sigmoid sinus clot.  They don't plan on any more MRI's or follow up testing.  He still has the clot but after 3 months of antibiotics they decided to stop and he has been fine.  Of course we all had the stomach bug over spring break, but no ear infections or signs of loss of hearing.  He is happy and full of energy and life.  He loves balls!  He drags around his bat to play baseball, constantly pulls my arm and wants to play ping pong and basketball is a favorite too.  The other day on the play structure at school he managed to climb out the opening of a tall pole like climbing thingy, a fair distant straddle and arm reach, I thought he was going to fall but did it all by himself.  He loves to wrestle, hug, hold and play with Travis.  It really does melt my heart because they aren't too different in size.  He calls him ba ba.  Max doesn't have many words down.  Jade is jee and Cohen is toe, and I can't distinguish Luke yet.  Somehow he gets along just fine without words.  He loves to open the fridge all by himself and get applesauce and cheese.  He still likes his oatmeal which is great because it fills him up!  He is a big boy.  Thick and solid.   He loves to sing.  When we are singing or the radio is playing or just randomly he will sing out loud and strong in all his non word attempts.  I am so grateful for all the prayers, love and support in his behalf.  Our prayers truly were answered and I can't imagine my life with out him.
