This picture says it all about Max.   The adventure of our most amazing Maxwell continues and his improvement day to day is incredible.   Today, Max is wearing a pull over t-shirt with a pretty narrow neck AND button shorts-- both new milestones.

Max is going to cardiac rehab 3 times a week and they have him walking on a treadmill while montoring his heart.   His heart is behaving like a champ and it is so reassuring to know he can move and walk at home as he heals.  The cardiac rehab people are awesome. 

Max has almost no pain, is sleeping all night, is able to go out for lunch and walk to get the mail.   You would honestly never know he had surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago if you saw him.  He is moving pretty well and is much less stiff.

Our only hiccup is his blood thinning medication which we are still working to get to a "therapeutic" level.  Because of his risk of blood clots, they did start twice daily injections of lovenox.  Hopefully these won't last too much longer but honestly it is reassuring to know his blood levels is better with it and we don't have to worry about a clot. 

We are traveling to Brainerd this afternoon to enjoy the lake with the plan to stay overnight.   I NEVER would have believed even 5 days ago that Max would feel up to that.   He's cheery and chatty and 100% Max which makes us all happy.  

Enjoy the weekend... With love.
