Max really dislikes tubes. Today, he decided that he needed a lot of exercise in the form of wiggling, flailing and generally squirming like the wriggliest worm possible. He was quite adorable in his anger laden flailing, but it brought up some stuff that needed to get suctioned. This led to more wiggle dances and the need for more suctioning. Once he finally had his throat cleared for him, he was far better and calmed right down.
He seems quite active, alert and as happy as he possibly could be in this situation. He's progressing along nicely and his ventilation settings have been modified so that he's in more control of it. Ideally, this will progress well enough to the point where an extubation will be both soon and successful.
In other news, our boy is getting quite tall/long. He came in at 48cm (19in) which means that he's grown a few centimeters or about an inch and a half since his last measurement. Apparently, the majority of his growing seems to be mostly in the cheek and chin area.
