The ins and outs of breathing.

We went to visit Max today and he has officially made it more than 24 hours without having to be re-intubated. He has become a bit more cranky in the past while, but this is most likely due to the fact that he's getting used to breathing and doing everything else without the aid of the ventilator. He still hasn't figured out what he needs to do when he spits up, so a bit of milk-drool is a big deal for him.  He'll learn in time to stop panicking every time he spits up, but for now, this is met with a bit of a dip and a lot of redness in his face.  He definitely gets his temperament from his mum.  He needs to learn how his new throat works and what he can and cannot do with this whole clear airway thing. We're going to take a few days before we try to hold him again as he just need to chill out a bit for a while.
