Our 4th of July weekend started off with a BANG....we called 911, had the firemen, the EMS & an admittance to the hospital for Max on July 2nd. Charlie slept thru the whole thing...we still haven't told him he missed out on the firemen coming to his house. Sweet Max was having trouble getting it all moved in the right direction. One direction wouldn't move (bowel) and one direction wouldn't stop (tummy). It was a long night for Mama & Max. So many flooding memories which I'd rather forget of our July 4th hospital admission with Charlie at the similar age of 15 months in London. Have to say the medical care was DRASTICALLY different and made me so happy to be residing in CA with Max's 4th of July hospital stay. I distinctly remember in 2006 with Charlie, watching and hearing the London fireworks in Battersea outside the hospital window. Feeling so so far from home, so so far from Lakeside, where I wanted to be. An ER visit, where they are worried about every single bruise on Max's body (I guess he has alot), worried about this, worried about that xray....it all puts it so quickly in perspective. There were a couple of moments where the mood felt too tense for me...what are they going to tell me??? All and all Max is just fine...just having some bowel issues and trouble keeping things moving in the right direction.
Not a happy boy at all.....but quickly improved once some food got in the tummy and big brother came to play.
Max was discharged on the afternoon of July 3rd so we were still able to do our fun Menlo Park kids parade and neighborhood BBQ. 
Max saying his favorite word....SHOE!
So onto our Happy 4th of July!!! Such fun we had at the parade and bouncy castle dreamland that followed. Our neighborhood picnic was great. I highly suggest becoming friends with Italians. They KNOW how to entertain, even how to entertain all the kiddos. We'll hope for a more relaxing 4th of July next year....Lakeside 2010!!
