Hanging Out...

Today was Gus' isolette change. His nurse Stephanie had Gus all wrapped up like a burrito when we arrived and ready for his change.

Jill let me hold Gus today while he was out - she was able to do the same yesterday. I sat and rocked him as he received his feeding. He fell asleep pretty quickly and I held him for over an hour before he was ready to go back into the isolette for a change of position. Gus just feels so great - even though he is tiny there is no doubt he is getting bigger.

Gus continues to do well with his feeding and his lungs seem to be getting stronger. The on-call doctor hinted that they may try Gus on the cannula again this weekend. He sure looks a lot more comfortable with the cannula on, but they (and we) want to make sure it is a good time for Gus to move over... Please keep Gus in your prayers through the weekend.

Blessed With Your Kindness,
Gregg, Jill and Gus

Wow! With all the close-ups from the "Gus lens" I didn't realize just how tiny he is. It's nice to see this shot and get perspective on how big (small) he really is. Glad you are both getting a chance to hold him. One day soon he'll be home and you can do it all the time!!!

If you put Gus in tin foil, he would look like a big burrito from Chipotle! We are enjoying checking Gus' blog daily. It is great to see him growing. Keep loving that little burrito.

Never under estimate the little guy!
