Bundled up...

Gus is still in the isolation room - nice and quiet. He was all bundled up today - the CPAP oxygen feed looks a little huge around his head, but he was pretty cozy.

Gus was really alert just before I left my visit today. His eyes were open and he was listening to me and following my face as I looked at him. Other than needing to have his nose and mouth suctioned out Gus was doing really well.

Gus is gaining just a little bit of weight at a time right now - he really hasn't changed over the last few days. We are hopeful that his steroid treatments will continue to heal Gus' lungs. It really is miraculous to watch his progress. He is very active - the nurses comment on how he is so spirited and that we should get our sleep while he is still at the hospital!

Thanks for all the prayers,
Gregg, Jill and Gus

Hey Gus,

We hope you keep gaining weight and enjoy that weight gain while it's a good thing...wait until you're 40 or 50...then not so good. We are thinking about you every day.
