Family day started out with us on our way to the Zoo even though it looked like rain. Dad thought that we could make it into the park fast enough to the indoor air conditioned manatee exhibit. Once we pulled into the parking lot, we watched groups of people leaving. Dad got the stroller out and then the thunder rolled in. Mom thought it wouldn't be worth it to be stuck in a torrential downpour and have James' ventilator die on us. So we headed to the International Mall again instead. There is so much to see, it's like Disney World for James. 😉

We browsed Nordstrom's for some reasonable priced grey shorts for James. 🤣 Then we grabbed an early dinner at the Grand Opening of a Greek Restaurant inside the mall. James loved the balloons and even tried to pop them. Video below. 

You'll see the in the last photos below that James doesn't like to cuddle or give hugs. We are told it just may be a micro preemie thing. But it could just be from Mom's side. 😂 However, Mom would love to hug her baby. James won't have it though! 😭

On our way to the Zoo...

P.S. You can email James your love and support as often as you’d like. Mom and Dad read these email to James as they come in. We all love them! JamesWestonAbramowitz@gmail.com

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

Image
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! ✌🏻❤️
