Gus passed the three-and-a-half pound mark yesterday, which puts him a pound above his birth weight. Really, he's gained most of that in the last couple of weeks. Before we know it, he could be bigger than Wyatt was when he came home (5 pounds).
The other momentous event was his move from one kind of isolette to another. The significance there is simply that they needed the Giraffe for the small preemies. Because now he's a giant and can handle the Air-Shields C2000.
Otherwise, things are pretty status quo, which is fine. He's having fewer apneic spells but is still on the nasal cannula. And he had an eye exam which showed that his retinas are premature (along with the rest of him). That doesn't really mean anything. They'll just have to check again in two weeks. There are always concerns about exposure to oxygen and lights, but this is nothing out of the ordinary.
I think that's it for now.
