We are all feeling a little better today. Mom doesn't have the body aches, chills, or much of a fever. We are hoping that this was a short lived version of the virus that has been going around.

Today Mom let James explore his first set of crayons and color book in his water table. 🖍️📘 He went nuts! Video below. A lot of research went into choosing the right crayons for development of his fine motor skills. Also ones that were safe and nontoxic, crayons that didn't leave a colorful residue on their hands, and ones that actually left a vivid color on paper. Not too delicate, not too big, and not too small, just right! 🥣

Dad then gave James a guitar lesson except James suspects Dad of magic since he cannot make the same sounds. Video below.



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

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! ✌🏻❤️
