It was a long, long day around here.
Today Max wasn't fed through his tube at all. He was given some electrolyte fluids to help keep him hydrated, but that's all. For someone that didn't get any food, he was in pretty good spirits for most of the day. There isn't yet a lot of eating happening, but we're doing our best to remain optimistic - Max is sorting through a lot of feelings.
He was very enthusiastic about feeding each of us, getting very worked up if we only pretended to eat. It's almost as though he's testing the waters with us, playing out what he'd like to be doing. He did nibble on some blueberries, a graham cracker and take several gulps of water throughout the day. By the time dinner rolled around he was totally checked out and wanted nothing to do with the tortillas, refried beans and guacamole on his tray.
We're all ready for a good night sleep. Tomorrow we soldier on, hoping for bigger nibbles on the horizon.
