Max Update - March 2012

 

I was just reminded through the re-acquaintance of an old friend (I don’t think he’s really that old) that it’s been a long time since I’ve updated Max’s site.

So for those out there wondering what’s going on with Max here’s a little update! It’s now been 8 years since Max was first diagnosed – on 2-12-2004.

 

That’s him and me at last year’s Run of Hope in October 2011. Yep – Max is now taller than me! He’s a Sophomore at Seattle Prep, rows crew with Greenlake Crew and is having a great time skiing. He’s driving now too.

He’s doing so incredibly well at school – I don’t know how he does it (except for the fact that he’s working really, really hard).

Max got all A’s last semester. Max had radiation treatment on his brain every day for 6 weeks when he was 8. Sheez…

 

It’s wonderful to see Max grow and get to experience his struggles growing into being an adult and finding joy and satisfaction along the way.

Sometimes it’s hard being a teenager – even for superheroes. I feel so inept at having anything I to teach him but thankfully he’s finding his way wonderfully.

 

God has big plans for Max.

 

Thanks everyone for such wonderful support, for allowing this and other’s circumstances to wake something up in you that’s always been there.

It’s all we really are.

 

Blessings, love and light
