When we arrived today his nurse, Stephanie, had just gotten him all cleaned up after his assessment and bundled in for a nap. He was very awake and alert - tuned in to our voices and what Stephanie was saying as well.
 Even though Gus was really alert - he was getting sleepy as can be seen here by his big wide-eyed yawn. After this picture I put my hand on his head and over his shoulder and chest and held him as he drifted off to sleep. What a wonderful feeling to be there with him so calm and ready to rest. |
Although Gus is back on the CPAP he seems to be doing really well with it. Sort of like weight lifting, he needs to build up some strength and endurance to make it on the cannula alone. Gus' weight is up to 2 lb 5.75 oz. Some of that may have been added by the head gear you see in the above picture but he really does seem to be filling out even though he is still so tiny. Keep praying for Gus' continued lung strength and healing - it is the most important part of his growth and recovery right now.
Encouraged by Greatness,
Gregg, Jill and Gus
