Evening update (Monday 1/19)

Carolyn spent the day with Max and we just phoned the NICU to get the late night update. In sum, it seems that Max is in some discomfort, probably because of his reflux, but his breathing continues to be relatively easy with no desats. Nurse C. reports that Max has been continuously awake for the past eight hours--a very long stretch for a baby (indeed, for his parents).

We will check in by phone tomorrow but, because the bridges are closed, the hotels booked solid and the hospital full of grumpy nurses and doctors forced to overnight during the inaguration, we're probably not going to make it in tomorrow.
