I did not see any noticeable change during the night with Gus' condition. The nurse did need to give him a morphine boost at 3:00 this morning because of the hiccups. Since he cannot take any of his oral medication, he now deals with different discomforts. Dr. Madany could give him medication for the hiccups but the side-effects are not worth it.
Sometime during the night the nurse removed Gus' oxygen. We do not know why but he is not in any discomfort, so the doctor and I are leaving it alone. Comfort is all we care about at this point.
Gus is definitely slowly fading. Touch alone no longer gets a response. He still knows his doctor, though. The most alert we see Gus is when Dr. Madany is close.

I have been following gus's walk and keeping Bob updated as he has always looked up to gus and admired him. We will keep Gus in our prayers as well as your family.

Kathleen and family,
May God's love continue to keep you strong during this difficult time. Much love to all of you.
Dear Kathleen and Family,
With loved ones surrounding Gus; those able to hold his hand, those thinking of him from far away, and those angelic spirits assuring him of a journey full of love -- he knows the wealth of all spirit, the richness of life continuous, the joy of just being.
My thoughts, my prayers, are with all of you.
Endless love, peace, and patience is surrounding you, guiding you, blessing you, and comforting you.
Love,
Carla

Kathleen and Family,
We have been praying for y'all and Gus for a while now. We are doubling our prayer efforts especially now, praying for peace and comfort, for God's love to be shown through this difficult trial, and for the Lord's strength for every one. Please do not hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do!
