Testing Day for Max

Max has been doing better. He has been eating well from Jamie and trying to cry but he is struggling for his voice. More on that at http://www.dillier.net/
He is having tests today. He has already had an EEG and later a MRI. After the MRI and weaning him off of the nasal tube to room air, there is talk of going home as early as tomorrow. They (Jamie & John) are hoping to put off the MRI for a couple of weeks because he will have to go under sedation again.
Most of us are trying to stay away from the hospital so the 3 of them can rest and not excite Max. The exception is Barbara bringing Alex for visits that all of them need. It is hard not being there physically but I think/hope John, Jamie and Max know we are there for them.

Max just got back from his MRI, waiting for him to come out of sedation. They tried to do it without sedating him, but it was too noisy and was scaring him. The good news is they only gave him 1/2 the recommended dose.
