Maximilian had a good day today. His O2 levels were well within acceptable parameters, and he was drawing in plenty of air at his own pace , with minimal assistance from the machines. He has yet to coast below the 23/24% range, but his pacing and volume are at the best they've been his entire 6 week (and a day) life.
Brienne got to hold him today. This went on for slightly over an hour, and we realized that he's a little creature of habit. At 6:05 he started squirming, and by 6:10 he was ready to go back into the incubator. this is always the time he starts realizing that food is on its way. Much like his mom and dad, when Maximilian gets hungry, he cranks himself right up and is slightly intolerable until food goes into his tummy. I wonder how angry he's going to be when they change his feeding schedule to every 3 hours starting on Monday (assuming he's hit his 1250g weight threshold for such a change)? Either way, it was a good day today.
