CASTLE FEVER


Well...we're still here! The "castle" has lost it's luster with Max. He's kind of ready to go home (ME TOO MAX!!!). However, we continue to make the best of it. It's not that we're anti-Best Western, but come on. The "best" has yet to be found, and the "western" part is very confusing!

Anyway, we've been venturing out for a few hours a day just for the change of scenery (and food). Rice University is only about 4 blocks away. Courtney and I thought about trashing the campus for all our USM friends since Rice will be in Hattiesburg tomorrow night to take on the Golden Eagles, but the Best Western only gives you 2 rolls of toilet paper at a time...not really enough to do much damage.

So, instead of doing that, Max and I sat in the floor this morning and played with the camera. Here's some of the "better" ones, and I use that word loosely!


Tomorrow we may head to the Galleria and get some take home goodies for John David, Hadley and Caleb (if you guys are reading this...of course, we're gonna bring you something - WE LOVE YOU, WE MISS YOU, WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU!!!!!!).

We should know for sure by tomorrow morning the exact time of our follow-up appointment on Thursday. Max will have an echocardiogram, a chest x-ray, and a few other physical exams to clear him for the journey home. We continue to marvel at God's grace and providence as we watch Max just be Max! What a joy!
