Day 366 - James Turns 1 Years Old (8.5 months adjusted) Today!

Friday, December 31st, 2021

We celebrated with family in town. Lots of happy tears today, since James has come so far. James had his first taste of icing from his birthday cake. 🎂 Not enough to swallow, but just enough to taste it. We sang Happy Birthday with tears of joy. He got a bath and a late night puppet show from Juju. Crazy to think all that has happened in this last year. It went by so quick and yet it feels like such a long time ago when James was in the NICU a tiny 1lb micro preemie with the world praying for him. ❤️

In deep thought...
More Puppets
Baby Tux

First taste of icing.
Of course we didn't light the candle. 


P.S. Wish James a Happy 1st Birthday @ JamesWestonAbramowitz@gmail.com! How awesome to get his reply back in like 10 years...

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! ✌🏻❤️
