Grow Max Grow

What a couple of very emotional days we have endured. After a great conversation with our hi risk OB he felt that yes Max could of came out yesterday to meet everyone, however, his lungs would not of supported himself breathing and could possibly be in the NICU for a few weeks. The steroids that Heather has been taking, Max is not receiving the benefit of them, due to Heather's body needing them for her Lupus inflamation(s) and has been obsorbing them instead of going to Max. Although he is a big boy over 6 pounds, his little lungs are not develped where we all had hoped and wished for. I have to say we did not expect this at all and were really set to meet our little boy of our dreams this week. As parents and although Heather is flaring up right now and in pain we have decided to give his little lungs another week (hopefully) to grow. We are meeting with our hi risk OB on Tuesday to do another growth evaulation on Max and to discuss which day to induce soon after. His lungs should by then be along the lines of a 36 weeker and they feel strong enough to come out. Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and well wishes, we feel them and are sending them little Max's way!
