Today was another good, boring day with Max. He and mum cuddled a whole bunch and he wowed us with his inability to stay still. He is a squirmy little fellow and he makes changing time a bit of a wrestling match. It's amazing just how much resistance his little legs can provide.
On all fronts, he's doing well. He is bottle feeding more and more. His minimum per feed now is roughly 9-10ml whereas it used to be 6ml. His breathing is still really good and he seems to be developing well. All the nurses that have been with him since day 1 are very impressed with his progress. The loose goal for this upcoming week will be to increase his feeds as much as possible as well as have him maintain his breathing better. He hasn't had any real issues, but if he could dip fewer times below 85%, then there will be THAT much less worrying when he finally comes home. Ideally, that would be sooner rather than later. The reports lately, however, indicate that he's spending 90% of the time with his oxygen levels in the 90's which is fantastic, and right where he should be. It all seems to be coming together, right at Max's own pace - just as it always has.
