Today we came in and Max wasn't wearing the CPAP. Just a little oxygen running in through his nose. His little knit cap was off and we could finally see his whole face and head. He's got a good head of dark brown hair, and we spent part of the day determining who's hair-line he might have.
Since Max has no "suck" instinct yet, he's being fed colostrum via feeding tube. We tried breast feeding a bit, even though he's too young. Not much luck yet, but there were signs Max thought there might be something to this nipple thing...
Came in after dinner to find Max back on the CPAP. His digestion hasn't quite kicked in so his full stomach was hindering his breathing somehow. They emptied his stomach, put the CPAP back on, and now we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see about
feeding him again.
