Max update

Max has been doing much better the last two days. Today, he even tolerated me holding his hand for a while! They are going to give him a transfusion as his hemoglobin is low from all the blood draws he has had done. They put him on some stronger antibiotics that cover a wider range of infection yesterday and today his blood work had improved. After his transfusion they are going to start weaning him off the nitric, then the vent. His chest X-Ray had shown quite a bit of improvement from yesterday's. He will also start getting lasix to  help git rid of some of his puffiness. Yesterday they started giving him TPN, which is just some nutrients and when he is feeling a little better they will start giving him some lipids.
