The Buttigieg family is home together again after the hospitalization of their newborn baby boy.
On Friday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s husband Chasten, 32, offered an update on Twitter regarding their 2-month-old son Joseph “Gus” August, sharing that he has returned home and is “doing great” after spending time in the hospital.
“After 3 weeks in and out of hospitals, 125 miles in an ambulance, and a terrifying week on a ventilator, Gus is home, smiling, and doing great!” Chasten wrote. “We’re so relieved, thankful, and excited for him and Penelope to take DC by storm! Thank you so much for all of the love and prayers.”
