Day 558 - Leaving Our GI Doc & Bananas 🍌

Monday, July 11th, 2022

We had a 3rd A/C guy this morning who found the crack where the water leak is coming from. He said he wouldn't get the part he needs until later in the week. Then the landlord came by with a Shop-Vac and some towels to soak up what they could. What a mess! James was very curious who was all here and what they were doing. 🤔👨‍🔧

We got a response from our GI doctor that they will not switch his GJ button unless it pops so now we will be looking for a new GI doctor. Mom contacted our Pediatrician and told them that we're looking for a new GI doctor and they said they would have referrals for us for tomorrow at his 18 month check-up appointment.

Mom setup new games for James using a sock organizer and scarfs (men's pocket squares). You able to keep things new and interesting with what Dad calls a "baby toddler". While Mom stepped out for the dentist, Dad watched James choose to play with his storage box over his Legos. 

In the evening we gave James tastes of banana puree which he loved. 🍌


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

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! ✌🏻❤️
