A Lot of Days in the Life of Max &Co.

It was brought to my attention recently (OK more than once by both Michele and Max) that I have really sucked at keeping the blog updated. I really don’t know why I haven’t updated these last few (OK, many) months, perhaps we’ve become boring (hardly!) or perhaps I’m just lazy (this option gets my vote). Either way I’ll do my best to bring everyone up to speed.


On the medical front, we have been our version of relatively calm. This means that we have only had a few new diagnoses pop up. The most notable at the moment is the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis in Max’s hands. The jury is still out on this as we are awaiting several test results to come back. In the meantime we have added twice weekly sessions of intensive occupational therapy for his hands as well as added a new specialist to our “dance card” at Hopkins. That’s right folks we are already set for our yearly pilgrimage to our Mecca known as “Johns Hopkins Children’s Center”. Most people are attempting to exit the frigid northeast while we desert rats are actually charging ahead praying for double digit temps and less than a foot of snow.

Max has also been “rocking it” on all academic levels. He has made the honor roll each quarter and continues to excel and grow in all areas. Once again he has some great teachers that have been putting up with me, no small task and really helping Max succeed. On the extra-curricular front Max was just named student coach/manager of the school’s baseball team. For those of you who know Max this is a perfect fit for him, he’s in seventh heaven!

So there you have it, a very quick update on “A lot of days in the life of Max & Co.”
