Ericksons

Sorry its been so long since I updated! We have some BIG news in the Erickson household! Tyler had a video swallow study on Tuesday. As you know we have been adding Simply Thick to thicken his bottles because he was aspirating. Well after several months, he is finally able to handle thin liquids! No more simply thick for Tyler, which means he is able to breastfeed. My life just got a lot easier. I have waited 6 long months for this! A couple of weeks ago Tyler got really sick. He was having to work extra hard to breathe. After two ER visits (first to Logan and then to Lafayette) and several breathing treatments he is much better! Just a case of bronchitis, which effects Tyler worse than a normal baby because of his prematurity. He is feeling a lot better now. It was very scary for Josh and I. We learned a very valuable lesson... Memorial Hospital is not the hospital for Tyler! Making the drive to Lafayette where they know and CARE about Tyler is worth it! Jake and Brayden are doing great! Jake started back to preschool a couple of weeks ago. I love the break three days a week. In two months our lil brayden will be 4! Just doesn't seem possible. Only 51 days until Spring!!
