Best day yet


Today was another huge day for Max, mom and dad got to hold him! He was so relaxed and slept when we held him, it was awesome! He got his umbilical line removed this morning so he does have an IV in his foot. 
 He is weaned down to 1/4 liter flow on his cannula and 40% oxygen. They are going to try and get him down to a regular cannula this afternoon. 
Max got a new bed today too, he got moved into an isolette after we held him and we can take clothes up there for him to wear now. 
Tonight, we get to go in and see if Max will nurse. Dr B said to not get upset if he just wants to snuggle and sleep, or if he tires out after a short while of nursing because he was so sick, he's not going to have a lot of stamina, but we have to start so we can get him out of there! 
He just continues making strides in the right direction. Before we know it, he will be home snuggling with us! 
We went up and saw Kynlie's doctor and nurses this morning, it is so great going up there, they all came out to see her with big smiles on their faces! Of course , she want the most social of little girls. When we were walking up there though, she asked where Locklyn's nurses were, we go see Kynlie's nurses and Max's nurses, but where are Locklyn's? It was pretty cute!
We found Kirsten's ornament on the tree at the hospital for babies that were taken too soon.

  1. I am SO happy that Max is improving and doing so well. What a tough, resilient boy- he has good genes for this!! Been thinking of you, I thought I had your cell number & tried it but didn't go through. Congrats on your precious son, praying that he improves quickly and is home with his beautiful family where he belongs!!
