Day 24 - Bigger Diaper

Saturday, January 23rd

Morning: James is doing excellent right now!  Our little guy graduated to a larger diaper this morning due to his belly getting larger and his bowel movements too. His oxygen is down to 33% and the pressure is down to 14.1. He’s also tolerating the 17 ML of feed!  Such an exciting recovery from one week ago.  This little fighter is revealing a great story for this roller coaster of a journey.  For now, he’s resting and basking in his glory for such a great night and start to the weekend.

Evening: James had a very big bowel movement this evening in his diaper. AND still weighed in at 850 grams, gaining 25 grams since last night! Oxygen down to 35.3% and the pressure down to 13.5! He is on the right track.

The great news is that James is now officially off oxygen completely! Also, we have worked with our GI team and the school nurses for them to be able to administer G-tube feeds at school, so he can stay a full day! It's so important to take the time to celebrate the wins because with a medically complex kid, there is always something to be working on! 👍🏻 From ventilator weaning to stopping the ventilator completely, to scheduling decannulation, to getting the trach stoma closed, to graduating from a GJ to a G-tube, to getting off of oxygen... It feels never-ending! That is just the medical side of it. There are also those normal things like walking, talking, eating... James has done great with those as well and cognitively he is acing everything! I recently saw a post from John Israel talking about perpetual dis...

Ella at 4, 5, and 6 months (and some extras)! Wow time is flying by because in 2 weeks she'll already be 7 months! 😱 She is such an easy baby! I don't mean because there isn't medical stuff because James was soo good too. Ella is just so chill. She can hang. Always smiley and content. Currently she has been making James laugh so hard! It is the best thing ever and one of these days I'll get it on video. James continues to be so sweet with her and I'd love for this to last forever!🤞🏻🤣 Soo much to update! Life has been great! If I ever find some time I would love to! ✌🏻❤️
