13 May 2009Jodie just sent me these two texts:
“The RT named Vorarut just came in to check things and reminded me that Max is on the lowest setting(s) for his ventilator and the next step if they can ween him off of the respirator is called a C-pap. It is a different kind of breathing system that keeps the lungs open so there is very little effort needed to breathe.”
“Also the RT checked the machine and said Max’s ratio is 1 breath to the respirator’s 5 breaths.”
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” – Ephesians 6:10
Maximillian Alejandro Cortez arrived at 7:48 am on Thursday April 30, 2009, weighing 4 pounds 12 ounces.
He spent 14 days in the NICU at Florida Hospital South, with his mother, father & family, before heading home to Heaven. We are all very excited to see him again.
If you need to, you can contact Max's Dad:
