Max had some big hurdles to overcome even in the early stages:
19 weeks: anatomy scan shows his corpus callosum (connects the two hemispheres of the brain) might be missing
25 weeks: pediatric neurologist reads his fetal MRI and mentions a rare genetic syndrome could be present
32 weeks: Max is born prematurely with hydrocephalus (excess fluid in the brain)
And yet, he was born looking like this, ready to take on the next challenge with a smile on his face.
