Today, Max took a step (or two) backwards and was breathing less on his own and more with the assistance of the ventilator. They took him out of his previous mode and put him back on assist control mode which means that the machine is doing more of the pacing and ensuring that Max gets more breaths per minute than the previous mode was forcing. Over night, he was having a hard time keeping his oxygen in his blood, so they switched to this mode in order to make sure he had a more stable pacing. The reasoning for this is like the reasoning for everything else. Just because. Otherwise, he's doing well. He's still taking well to his increased feeds and is still doing everything else a baby in his condition is meant to be doing. Sadly, it was too short of a visit today to get to hold him, but he did seem quite comfortable and full of his usual energy.
