The holding




We visited with Max twice today.

The first time, we were unable to begin the father-son kangaroo care because earlier on in the day, Maximilian decided to pull out his tubes again. He did not take to that very well and they had to reintubate him, which was exhausting for him. He was doing well when we go there, they just didn't want to stress him out too much in one day.

Later in the evening, we went to visit the little guy again. He was doing well still and Rafael got to kangaroo hold him for over an hour. Maximilian and dad got along great, even though Max was doing his best to remove all of Rafael's chest hair with his sharp nails and mighty grip.  All in all though, Max was stable most of the time and they had a great time together. Hopefully, more of this can happen soon.
