Max

Max is doing great! He's gained 9 oz. and now weighs 4 lbs 6 oz. He's had to go back on oxygen, but it's okay...what Dr. Gertzman said is when the baby starts to tollerate his feedings so well, and increase the amount(he's almost taking 1 whole ounce!!), the diaphram pushes up into the lungs, and makes it alittle hard for the lungs to expand well, especially when it's a preemie that we're talking about. But, he'll grow out of needing the Oxygen soon. All the nurses are in love with him and call him super baby because he's such a fighter. Max doesn't like to be bothered. He pushes the nurses hands away if they bug him and throughs fits if they make him mad. He also acts like he's alot older than he is, and he's flying through all the steps he needs to take to get out of the hospital. He's the cutest thing in the world. He makes the funniest faces and he's actually laughed a couple of times. We are so blessed that he is so far along in his progress. We were expecting things to be so much harder for him then they were. Stay tuned for more info. He changes every day!!
