arrived last night at 18:20. Little Gus weighed in at 8 lbs, 10 oz. He's having some problems breathing, and so a chest tube was inserted last night. The doctors don't seem too concerned, and I don't think they're downplaying the situation. I have to wonder if my daughter's lethargy and long term hospitalization during the pregnancy was a factor. No blame or hard feelings to that issue intended -- she did what she could with the situation.
Next step - The CT DCF (Department of Children & Families) comes in and decides Gus's future, and where he will go. My slightly unstable ex-wife would like to take him to her home in NH, and as I posted, my wife & I would like to raise him, as my daughter cannot. So far things are civil, as I don't believe my ex realizes we are in the loop. She hasn't gone off on a public rage, which is her usual course of action when things don't go her way.
Time will tell...
With four or five state agencies in the loop, we'll hope & pray for he best. In my quest to establish contact with DCF, my first call to them lead to the advice of: "You can go to probate court and file for custody."
Um, perhaps not the best nor timely advice there.
I feel better now that the hospital's social worker handling the case has plugged me into the DCF agent in charge of the next steps.
