So Max's weight came in today at 2069g... Again. This seems like he's made no progress, but the truth is most likely that he had been retaining water a few days ago and that factored into his gargantuan weight gain the last time. They gave him a diuretic a few days back and he has since re-balanced his fluids. His breathing is far better too, so most likely the fluid buildup he had was also impinging on his ability to breathe properly. All in all, today was a great day. He was feisty, he was active, he was breathing so well. The only time he really had any issues was right after we changed him into his cute little onesie. Otherwise, he was doing great all day at around room air (21%) and was just being cute and awesome. So, there's nothing much else to report about him. Now that he's doing so well with the CPAP, we assume it's a matter of a day or two before they move him onto the less cumbersome air tubes. Ideally, he'll take to them better than the last time and this will be the last time we have to deal with the evil CPAP prongs of face squishing.
As an aside, his cries are getting louder and louder. At first, they were just little squawks, but now he sounds like a duck having a temper tantrum. It's quite adorable and makes Mum and Dad giggle a lot.
