this picture is of my best friend and her little brother, Max. this kid is like another brother to me. the day after Christmas he came down with a fever of 104 and was taken to a local health clinic in Wisconsin. His kidneys had failed and he was care-flighted to a major hospital in Minnesota. he had the flu which turned into severe pneumonia. his lungs filled with liquid and he was put on dialysis to stabilize his kidneys. right now his lungs have been emptied and he is on life support meaning he is not breathing on his own. his kidneys have gotten better, but his lactic acid levels are rising. please pray for him. if you dont pray thats cool. at least keep him in your thoughts; send good vibes. do whatever you do. he needs a miracle. i love this kid and his family with all my heart and i hate to see them suffering like they are. keep fighting Max. cant wait to hear you cracking jokes again soon.
