Sorry the update is late. I was out at the Via Crucis Experience taking pictures last night and was too tired to blog when I came home.

Today was isolette change day and Jill's turn to hold Gus. Here he is all snuggled in and sleeping. Not much to see of Gus with him all wrapped up, but at least you can see how beautiful and happy Jill is. They were able to sit and rock for almost an hour and a half before Gus gave the signals that he wanted to lie down again.

Gus gained another ounce yesterday - up to 2 lb 14.5 oz. When they weighed him early this morning there was no change. His calories have been increased along with an increase of his medication - all due to his increased size. He really is growing and filling out which is great to see. The nurse practitioner indicated that Gus may have his CPAP weaned again today in preparation for trying the nasal cannula again this weekend. Keep those prayers and good vibes going for Gus' strength as he makes this transition.

Happy Pesach (
Passover),
Gregg, Jill and Gus

Almost 3 lbs - we are rejoicing with every ounce Gus gains. Took Braden to church for the first time today for Good Friday service - thankfully he slept. Happy Easter - it's so nice for us both to be celebrating new lives. Grow Gus Grow!

Thanks for keeping us updated! We keep Gus in our prayers every night. What are the milestones Gus will need to reach before he is released? He seems like he's making such big strides and growing so well recently. Happy Easter!!
