"My name is Max, and I'm a drug addict."

Max had a restful day, thanks in part to the sedative cocktail they have him on.  Plainly speaking, he is rather aware of the tubes down his throat, so it's an unfortunate necessity to have him a bit less "edgy" until his extubation date.  The antibiotics seem to be doing what they're supposed to; he has less "gunk" in his throat, and seems to be making a few more sounds than before. And yes, they are cute little sounds. Ideally, he'll continue to improve and the drugs will help him stay calm to prevent him from tearing the tubes out on his own until that eventual day where they're gone for good.

Until then, Max will continue to get his fix.
