Busy day at home! Mom had James setup during the day in the middle of the "living room", essentially away from his crib. We also had physical therapy there. Today we focused on standing. Mom needs to buy James some shoes with hard soles.  Jamesnwas very interested in the coffee table and anything new and different he could find, even including his humidification chamber. Then James took a nap right in the middle of the floor.

In the evening, Dad performed for James with the guitar. Mom also had James sitting in his portable high chair from Juju. Tomorrow we are going out to dinner and this will come in handy. In the kitchen, James played with all sorts of cooking utensils. He also had some green beans at the kitchen table. Video below.

On a side note, Mom followed up about getting medical records transferred to the other GI office. She was told that this would take a while and require a lot of follow-up since the offices don't like to play well together. Seems like red flags already! 🚩


James is checking out Mom's handy work on the 3 tiered cart. Yes that is an L bracket underneath, holding up the chamber, James.

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!
