Gus crossed the four-pound threshold today. Also, they've lowered the pressure on his nasal cannula, and he's been doing fine with that. He has a bit of a stuffy nose, but they think that's just irritation from the tubes, since there are no other signs of infection.
The big news is that he's been trying to nurse a bit. It's early yet -- he's only just at the age where he might be able to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing at the same time. And it'll be longer still until he'll be able to get all his meals from breast or bottle. But these are all steps in the right direction.
