Don't make me angry...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Max smash!!

This seemed a little bit like the theme of our visit today. Max is down right irate about his return to the most uncomfortable CPAP prongs. They had to give him a little more sedation over night, just because he was so angry and unsettled. As frustrating as it is to watch Max struggling to free himself from the contraption, it must be even more frustrating to have it shoved uncomfortably in your nose, and have it yanking and falling out every time you so much as turn your head. Add to that the brief taste of freedom he enjoyed yesterday, and you have one cranky little boy.

A wrestling match ensued for a good portion of our visit, just trying to get Max to leave his head on the bed and not pull the tubes out of his nose (which he is very good at). We're proud of him for being so strong, but it would be nice to be able to reason with him - you get the CPAP off when you can learn to breath without it.

The doctors are going to try Max out on the little nasal prongs again in the next couple of days, so hopefully he will fare a little better this time, and go a little longer, or ideally say goodbye to the CPAP all together. Time will tell.
