Day 360 - James' 1st Christmas! 🎄 ⛄ 🌴

Saturday, December 25th, 2021

We finally made a trip upstairs with James! 

So we rent a 2 story townhouse in Tampa. Moved here right before the pandemic while we sold our house in Clearwater. Upstairs is the master bedroom, his nursery, and an open loft which is where our TV and couches are setup. We gave James a tour of his amazing woodland themed nursery that he never got to see. 👶🏻 Now we are watching our first Christmas movie as a family together in the TV room! 🎄📺

It took 3 trips between the two of us worth of equipment including the ventilator, suction machine, humidification chamber, and extended the oxygen tubing to 75 feet with a connector. Oh and plate of cookies 🍪 😂 but we did it! It's the little things! 🥰

So grateful to be able to relax at home with James while he naps on his first couch! Thank you everyone for the love. Family is everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Excuse the mess. 🤣 Merry Christmas! 🎄



P.S. James' 1st Birthday is coming up! Wouldn't it be fun for James to read an email from you when he is older? What a treasure! His email is JamesWestonAbramowitz@gmail.com. How awesome to get his reply back in like 10 years...

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! ✌🏻❤️
