Day 312 - Lazy Sunday

Sunday, November 7th, 2021

No nurse, she is still off this week.

Dad started off the morning watching The Neverending Story with James. Dad was not a fan. 😂 But this was Mom's childhood. James can't wait for Tommy to come home so he can practice flying. 

Mom also made her first slow cooker recipe, Butternut Squash Soup. We think the slow cooker will be super helpful in trying to cook dinner while being a full time ICU nurse. If anyone has any slow cooker/crock pot recipes they'd like to share, please send them to jameswestonabramowitz@gmail.com. Ideally low carb, but we'll see how long that lasts...

Tomorrow is James' Pulmonology appointment to get another 2 synagis shots. 💉 We are also going to ask about going down on his PEEP. 🤞

P.S. If you read the blog and aresupporting James through his journey we would love you to participate in our video montage of everyone singing his lullaby. Please see the James Weston lullaby post for more details. ❤️

P.P.S. Thank you so much for the lullaby submissions so far! It's so exciting to have all of you be a part of something so special!

First Full Day of Pre-K 🎒 🟰 Off of Oxygen!

Yesterday was James's first full day of Pre-K! For the past 2 months, James has only been able to do half days because of nap time; he required oxygen while sleeping. 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! ✌🏻❤️
