Room air

Max had another good day today. He got his cannula taken off so he is breathing room air. His antibiotics are discontinued as of 11 pm tonight, but his nurse said they will probably leave his IV in his hand for a bit to make sure they don't have to do another one if something would come up. 
He did all right nursing. This morning he was pretty sleepy and didn't do much and this afternoon he took 40 ml, or 1 oz. Neil bottle fed him the rest of his milk this morning and we tube fed him at 6. Their
shift change messes with his 3 pm feeding so we push it back go 3:30, then we are getting into their 7 pm shift change if we feed him at 6:30 and he's not hungry at 6 so we thought we'd just let him rest and get tube fed, and I'll go feed him at 9.
I'm hoping with him taking the bottle he will get out of there a little faster. I'll switch him to breast when we get home, that's my plan for him anyways!
