They removed the CPAP from Max's face earlier today and tried to get him on the simpler, nicer feeling prongs. Max would have none of it, so they put him back on CPAP. They also gave him some caffeine, which they hadn't given him for 2 weeks or so. The caffeine seems to be helping him breathe a lot better on his own, so even on the CPAP, he was doing quite well and they could carry on with his oxygen set lower. All in all, there was still some progress today, so we aren't really worried about his need for CPAP. Also, they tried to switch him off of CPAP at the height of them poking and prodding the bejeezus out of him. Max gets a bit ornery pretty easily, so that seemed like a silly idea, and we're not surprised that he didn't take to the change.
We hung out with him for a while and we spent the majority of the time just watching him be cute and chubby. He had a great evening with us and it was nice to see him dip very little and bring himself out of his dips very quickly and without much of a struggle. As always, he's adorable and feisty and full of awesome.
