Bath Time and a Book!

Today Gus had a "swaddle bath" and a massage. The occupational therapist was there with us to guide and help - Gus really enjoyed both the bath and the massage and came out of the whole experience very relaxed.

Here is Gus getting ready to get dressed after his bath and massage - he is feeling really groovy! It went a little longer than anticipated so he was super hungry by the time we started his feeding.

Gus and I read a book as he was drifting off to sleep. "Bear Snores On" was the book - after I finished the book we both fell asleep on the comfy new recliner the NICU is trying out for their remodeled rooms.

Gus' eyes didn't show any change from the last time. While they weren't worse, they aren't better yet. We know that if they don't start to get better he will need the surgery to correct them - we just don't know how long they will wait yet. Please continue to pray for healing in Gus' eyes and for continued strength as he grows bigger. Eating every meal via the bottle and getting over the apnea events are still his big hurdles before he can come home. No weight change today, but he is getting close to that 5 lb mark!

Peace,
Gregg, Jill and Gus
