Day 498 - James has Visitors!
Thursday, May 12th, 2022
Today we had a new trach mom stop by so she could see our setup, meet face-to-face finally, and see how well James is doing. Her baby was transferred from the local hospital here to out of state. The great news is she is thriving at that hospital and it's only a matter of time before she is discharged.
In the afternoon Jamie and Baby Makenna stopped by! This was the first real interaction where James was able to sit down next to a baby and play. It was absolutely adorable and needs to happen more often! Jamie was nice enough to bring over some much needed formula since there is a shortage in case anyone has not turned on a tv lately.
Although James is technically 16 months, he is only 13½ months adjusted. Being a micro preemie he will always be on the smaller side, at least for the first few years. Developmentally we are around 8 months old, because remember for the first 9 months he was sedated and bed bound. So if you take the 16 months actual and subtract 9 months we're looking at about 7 months of development. He will catch up though.
