It is almost time to leave the hospital and Max has received over 250 hearts! Some hearts were hand delivered and most were sent in the mail. Every heart was unique and special. Max received hearts from aunts, uncles, grandpas, grandmas, cousins, greats aunts, great uncles, great grandma, great grandpa, second cousins, first cousins once removed, veterans, veterinary techs, preschoolers, nursery kids, neighbors, friends, pets, ward members and missionaries from the Winnipeg Canada mission. Hearts came from Hawaii to New York and many states in between. The smallest heart was 2 inches long and the largest heart was 2 feet long. The oldest person Max received a heart from was great grandpa Southwick (82) and the youngest was cousin Talan (2 months). The hearts were every color of the rainbow and decorated with buttons, ribbon, glitter, stickers, pom-poms, popcicle sticks, beads and candy. Each heart had a special message to Max. He received hearts with scriptures, quotes from Dr. Seuss, an original poem, and lots of loving, encouraging words. There are hearts with pictures of Disney characters and Superman. There are hearts written in Spanish. There are hearts with the BYU fight song. There are hearts that were hand painted. There are hearts that were made of gold. Max was called a champ, a tiger, an angel, a rockstar, a cougar, a baby and a hero.
Lots of hearts=lots of love for Mighty Max Kelly

I love that you guys got so many hearts! They are so happy! They definitely dress up his room. That Max is one loved little guy. We're thinking of you guys.
And here are a few more hearts for home. <3 <3 <3
I would have sent some, but the idea of an art project with my 2 1/2 year old did not sound like fun, at all. We tried one yesterday for the grandma's, for Mother's Day...it was a bust.
That was the best idea you had!! Your Max and your family are so loved!!
Hooray!!!! I am so happy the Might Max did it and is going great!!!! I have a question for you now though, what I you planning on doing with all those wonderful hearts. Knowing you you will think of something awesome and something that will be meaningful to Max for years to come! We love you guys and are glad things went well. By the way how did Spencer do on the Bar?
