Better

After a full week of 104 degrees fevers, sleepless nights, and repeated wearing of his "Crabby" t-shirt (a little trick of mine. Its easier to deal with someone's crabbiness when it says they are crabby right there on their t-shirt)
Max is finally feeling better.

We now know he has respiratory airway disease (asthma) secondary to the lung damage from the RSV he had at 5 weeks. Which means his winter months will usually include pneumonia and bronchitis. And yes, he will probably be that kid in gym class that has to stop after the first lap to use his inhaler. But I'm not too worried about him getting picked on.
With the way this kid has been eating,
And all the steroids he is hopped on during his infections,
you are not going to want to mess with Max. I'll try and find a t-shirt to warn the other kids.

Does he have red hair now? Holy cow Max, you ARE handsome to boot!

No red hair but it does look that way in the pictures. Max wants you to pass on that handsome comment in subtle hints to Lucy.

SO glad he is doing better! NO ONE will mess with Max! Love you all
