Weekend Progress
I love when I get to say it: it was an uneventful weekend in the ICU!
- We're just under 1lb 12oz.
- He was temporarily back under the bilirubin light. But that has been turned off.
- His last breathing spell was three days ago.
- My lovely wife had a very enjoyable kangaroo care session Sunday. I did not attempt it because... I was wearing the wrong shirt for it. Yeah, that's it, I was wearing the wrong shirt...
- There is one thing that the nurses have been impatiently for... as milk intake (which is now just a smidgeon under 1 teaspoon per hour) increases, they would like to see corresponding amounts showing up at the other end of the digestive machinery. And lo and behold, we have had significant production in that department during Saturday and Sunday! Atta boy! (Just what you wanted to read about while sipping on your Monday morning coffee, right?!)
So far so good!

Mathias,
You look so great!!!! We all love you so much!
I don't particularly want to hear about adult digestive machinery. However, baby digestive machinery...now that's interesting.
(As a grandma to 2 boys...believe me...I got poop reports and was thrilled to hear about it).
Keep on keeping on, Mathias!!

We returned from Florida Sat. night about midnight and before I went to bed I had to check up on the new family. Your updates and pictures are wonderful, Patrik. Mathias looks great and I'm thrilled that he is healthy and growing. I'm anxious to meet him. Sending you love and prayers.

Åååh, han är så fin! Har alltid haft föreställningen att så här små för tidiga bebisar bara ligger och sover och sover - men Mathias verkar hänga med så mycket hela tiden med sina stooora vackra ögon. Jag kan, utan att ju vara det minsta partisk, säga att han är jättesöt! (Fast pojkar vill kanske inte bli kallade söta - men när de är så här små, så får de stå ut! *s*)
Det är underbart att läsa alla uppdateringar om hans fortsatta framsteg. Visst är det väl så att det går vääldigt bra, med tanke på hur liten/tidig han faktiskt var/är? Det känns så - och det är sååå härligt att läsa!
Tack för att du håller oss alla uppdaterade, Patrik. Hälsa Ericka i massor!

Congratulations to you on your blessed event! I enjoyed seeing the pics. It's so nice to see the improvement from day 1 to now. I will give Keri this blog address so she can have a look. If you have any questions, be sure to give her a call as she works with these little ones every day also. Her # is 605-332-3306.
Hugs and Prayers, Coleen Ernster
Getting to meet this little miracle in real life has been one of my greatest treasures! The love Ericka and Patrik have for little Mathias is beyond words. You both are as much of a blessing to him as he is to you.
I assure you all that Mathias is in the best place possible, and is getting the best care possible. The staff that I met there were so caring and competent. Our love and prayers continue for you all. Love AuntB and boys.
