 When Gus was told he could come home he flashed a little smile for us. He has received such great care. As word spread among the nurses in the NICU they all dropped by to say "goodbye" to Gus, Jill and me. We are very blessed to have such great care. Even the doctors and nurse practitioners stopped over to wish us well. We can't say enough great things about MVH's NICU staff. |
Gus gained a little more weight, up to 5 lb 7.25 oz. He will go home on a mix of breastfeeding and NeoSure formula until his pediatrician recommends something else. We are just thrilled to have him doing so well and able to be with us. We will continue to root and pray for Kenyon Kill, MH and VE as they all grow and progress toward that day when they can go home. We will have to transport Gus to the eye doctor for his post-surgery check-ups but that is OK with us.
We'll see how much updating I can do after Gus is home - I expect home care of a preemie will be just as interesting as was the NICU experience...
May Your Journeys Be Blessed,
Gregg, Jill and Gus

Congratulations, Gus,Jill and Gregg! I missed taking care of Gus his last two weeks with us, but am thrilled that he is going home! As your game now changes to home field, he has the advantage of your love and attention 24 hours a day! You two will do great and Gus will continue to thirve and grow under your care. It was an honor to work with both of you and I hope that you will keep our unit updated on Gus and his progress!
God Bless,
Nurse Sheri
