Anniversary Number Two

Today marks yet another anniversary in Miracle Max’s medical journey – it was two years ago today that we brought Max to Johns Hopkins for his second open heart surgery to replace his dangerously dilated aorta. Thus began our yearly pilgrimages to Baltimore to ensure that Max receives the very best care available to him. We are beyond lucky to have been referred to these physicians, our adored cardiac surgeon here in Phoenix gave Max the gift of another chance at life with both his own hands during that fist cardiac surgery and yet a second time when he referred us to the program at Hopkins. Strangely enough both of these wonderful surgeons are Italian….Michele does not think this is a coincidence but rather confirmation that Italians are naturally the best at all they do!

So once again we thank all the doctors who have cared and continued to care for Max at Hopkins, one of the largest and best medical facilities in the world but yet they know Max and me (imagine that, I’ve made a reputation for myself even 3,000 miles away) by first name only.


Thanks for checking in!
