Gus visited the pulmonologist on Friday and was released from wearing the apnea monitor! What an exciting and terrifying time. We remember all the times from Gus' early days when he would stop breathing and turn blue - needing to be resuscitated by the nurses.
We have been assured however, that Gus is over the "apnea of prematurity" stage of life and we have nothing to worry about. In fact, Gus did just fine Friday night. He was able to sleep without being strapped down in his crib and seemed to have a great time spinning around!
In just one week Gus has gained another 1/2 pound. He was 11lb 8oz at the doctors yesterday. We don't have to go back to the pulmonologist for another 2 months and that will probably be our last visit to him as long as all is well. We were barely home 2 hours and the company that provided the apnea monitor called to schedule a pick-up next week. What a great feeling. We think Gus is just perfect and we are so blessed that he has made such great progress. Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement.
Smiling (but sleepy),
Gregg, Jill and Gus
