Day 632 - A Storm is Coming 🌀🌪️

Friday, September 23rd, 2022

We made it into Jax pretty late last night. James' sleep schedule is always off at Juju's. 😴

Forgot to mention that yesterday our DME company dropped off our new oxygen tanks. We had seven to replace. He was also dropping off all of our monthly respiratory supplies. Our DME is located in Melbourne, FL which is a good 3 hours away so he made it just in time before we had to leave for our appointment in the afternoon. He gave Mom a paper to sign that asked us if we were going to be going to a shelter. Mom was pretty shocked because we had no idea that a hurricane was coming. We do not have cable or a television downstairs, and nobody was really talking about it on social media. It's a good thing that we had already planned to go to Jacksonville for the weekend. Living in Florida we've been through several hurricanes and was even caught in the eye of the storm during Irma when it hit Jacksonville in 2017. 🌀

Today mainly consisted of Mom fighting with the pharmacy and insurance to get the Cipro approved. Even though this is James' 3rd time being on Cipro this year it is always a hassle getting insurance to approve it. James had puppet shows from Juju and a nice bath in the living room. 🛁



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!

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!
