Short and sweet.

Max had a great day. He was at room air most of the time and rang his little oxygen saturation alarm very little. They've made it so that the alarm goes off at 87% instead of 84%. This is so that they make sure his oxygen levels are as close to optimal for as long as possible. With these restricted parameters, he was still doing well.  Also, they've increased his feeds by 4ml (to 47ml) in order to compensate for the missing fortifier from his breast milk. This makes him more full - and therefore makes him struggle a bit right after his feeds - but he's dealing really well with it overall and is just a cute, little, adorable guy.  Theres not much else to report.  Except that he's a bit of a tiny fella.  He's at 48.5cm in length, which puts him at just under 19", which puts him at "kind of short".  Which is no surprise seeing as his mum and dad (but especially his mum) are kind of short too.
