Angels on our side...

Gus has stayed in his "private suite" for another day. He is doing really well on the CPAP oxygen feed and is staying feisty for the nurses! Jill was even able to hear his voice today - little cries as he was being adjusted a bit. Most parents would have had ENOUGH - but we haven't heard much out of Gus so this is progress and a blessing. Jill's heart melted at the sound...

One of Gus' primary nurses is Penny. She (along with Susie, Rachel, Mary, Louisa, Michele, Sherry, Sarah, Abbey, Delinda, Kelley, Alka, Bridget -- and SO many others) are the angels that watch out for Gus right now. They are truly an amazing group of caregivers - so knowledgeable about all that Gus needs and so loving in their application. We are very thankful!

Gus started to get calorie fortified milk today. Time to bulk up dude! His continued progress with the CPAP is a good sign - he was breathing really well on his own today even when they removed the CPAP to do some suctoining of goop out of his mouth and nose. As I've said before, it is the little miracles that happen every minute Gus is there that are so amazing to see.

Many Blessings,
Gregg, Jill and Gus

Go, little dude! Bulking up will do your body good. Looks like the angels caring for you are amazing. As always, you and your family are in our prayers.

We are so happy to see Gus progressing off the ventilator. The first thing I do when I sit down at my computer each morning is check on Gus. Grow Gus Grow!
