Ericksons

Tyler weighs 2 lbs 14 oz and is 15 1/2 inches long! He sure is growing. He looks completely different. Hard to believe he is 5 weeks old ! He tried taking a bottle for the first time last Friday. It didn't go as well as we had hoped. We decided we will wait until week and try again. He is still pretty lil for a bottle. He has been doing good, with fewer episodes of his heart rate dropping or the oxygen level in his blood dropping. He does tend to have more alarms at night, rather than during the day. His heart rate does go up when the nurses are doing his care. (Every three hours he gets his temperature taken, diaper changed, his nose cleaned out, and they listen to his heart and lungs.) He doesn't like that at all !!!

Sunday afternoon we took the boys to the Columbian Park & Petting Zoo. It is really close to the hospital. They enjoyed spending the day with mommy and daddy. After the park we went for some ice cream! Boy was it hot outside !!
