Bottles, Day 2

Attempt #2 was a great effort for Max! He doubled the amount he drank to 15 mls.

He is having some fluid issues still, but no horribly bad. He looks a little puffy, but believe me, he's looked MUCH worse, and so far there does not seem to be an effect on his lungs. They're just letting it go, because the option would be to give him Lasix, but that drug also leeches calcium from the bones, and with his brittle bone issues, they don't want to make that issue worse. We will just wait for now and see if his body gets things regulated on its own.

Since the beginning of the week, he's gone from 5 lbs 8 ozs to 6 lbs 12 ozs tonight! It's too much weight gain, but some if it is real weight, so our best guess is that he weighs around 6 lbs.
