When we went to see Max today, his little brow was stuck in a furrow. It seems that, although he was very polite and calm during his eye exam, he was very tense following the testing. His eyes are doing well (which, at this point means that his retinas are attached) so there is little to no worry there as of now. He's up to 1.12kg now (which is 2lb7oz, for you Imperialists) which is awesome and he's eating 14ml of fortified breast milk now. He's doing awesome. Oxygen-wise, they had him as low as room air today for a while and he seems to coast best at 22-24%, so at least he's well on his way to breathing the air around him, which can make extubating him that much easier when they decide to do it.
thanks so much for the blog Raf and Brienne, and the email pics! It's so wonderful to be able to follow max's story regularly. That's so awesome you are both able to hold him now! I see he has quite a bit of hair already!
