Human contact is essential. A lot of people go through large stretches of their lives without hugging another human being. We do not want this to be Max's life, so today was a cuddle day for him and his mum. Even though he's got all these tubes sticking out of him, and even though he has to be positioned just so in order to be comfortable, she cradled him in her arms and let him know that he's safe and loved. He enjoyed this immensely. He had his eyes open for a while, stared into his mother's eyes and was at true peace and rest - the first time in almost a week. It was a great little moment.
Not much else has changed with him. His post-op healing is going very well. His "bits" look bruised, but they look like the bits they're supposed to be. He's still chubby, still beautiful and still amazing.
