Maximilian is a such a polite young boy.

Super Max was doing great today. He had very little, if any, hiccups throughout the night and he was calm and wonderful when we got there. He gained 90g which brought him up to 1460g (3lbs4oz).  Because of his onesie-busting frame, they upped his feeds to 27ml every 3 hours. It's only the addition of one milliliter, so Rafael likes to think of it as a bit more dessert for good behaviour. He's still on PSV, and he's coasting far less than the last time they had him on PSV. They have his oxygen at 24-27% and he dips down very rarely.
He got to cuddle with Brienne today and he did very well there and didn't have any dips, beeps, boops, or bings the whole time. The only reason he went back into his little baby condo was because they needed to do another eye test on him. We called in after the test was done and were told that, not only were his eyes doing well, but Maximilian fussed very little during the whole procedure. This is amazing, because the procedure is usually seen as the worst one in the entire ward; it's not unusual to have babies give the entire staff an earful during and after the ordeal. We're proud of Max for being so polite and thoughtful with the hospital staff.
