Today Gus was moved to the cannula oxygen feed again. This time he seems to be transitioning much more smoothly. He also received some more blood - the first he has gotten in three weeks. Gus had his eyes examined for the first time today and everything looks fine. This will be a weekly exam for now - every six months after he is released. The main concern is detached retinas or blood in the eyes - both of which were negative for Gus.
No update yet on his weight but he looks bigger to us. No pictures either... Gus' eyes were dilated and the lights were turned low in his room - using the flash could have harmed his eyes while there were dilated so you will have to just look back a few days to remember how cute he is!
Please remember the March of Dimes and "Team Gus" in your charitable giving. We are still looking for some corporate sponsors for our team! Jackie Allen from the SW Ohio chapter of the March of Dimes came to visit us at the hospital today - they are really doing some amazing work locally and around the nation. She had heard about us through Gus' nursing staff and other March of Dimes board members. It is an honor to be helping such a great organization that is benefiting so many young lives.
Peace,
Gregg, Jill and Gus
