At 4:34 AM this morning Max became 1 week old. He is doing amazing. We came in this morning and his IV and IV port are completely out. The only things still attached are his feeding tube and the monitor leads. He's up to 40 ml of milk every three hours which is the ideal amount for his size. He has slight touch of jaundice and is right on the line as far as putting him under the bilirubin light again. And if they do, it's completely normal until he starts stooling regularly.
The day before yesterday his weight had dropped to 4 lbs 4 oz, and was back up to 4 lbs 8 oz yesterday. Looks like the milk is starting work a bit. Before you know it he'll be arm wrestling his dad.
