Day 659 - PT Crocodile 🐊 Tears & Longhorn 🐂

Thursday, October 20th, 2022

Thursdays have become PT 🤸🏻‍♂️🏋🏻‍♂️ and Family Dinner 👨‍👩‍👦 🍽️ night. Today in physical therapy we focused on only playing with one toy at a time. James likes to continuously sign for "toy" until he gets more toys. We are really working with him on scooting forward but he now realizes that he can just pretend to cry and reach for Mom if he wants to stop PT. So that's a lot of what is happening during the 1 hour!

Thursday is now family dinner night and this evening we decided to try a new place, Longhorn Steakhouse. The thing about bringing a baby in a stroller on a ventilator into a restaurant is that you can't just put the stroller aside. We have to be very methodical about the places we can go. We think about the layout of the restaurant, if they have tables and chairs versus only booths, and how crowded it is. You have to consider if there is room for waiters and waitresses to get by. When we told the hostess that it would be needing space for the stroller he looked at us like, "yeah I don't know about this...". We looked around as well and it looked like there wasn't many options. However it just so happened that another table decided that they were going to make their own table by joining three together which left us this huge space and it worked out perfectly. Typically all we need to do is just move one chair away and put a stroller right there. Then we can set up his high chair, and connect it to the table for James to join us. James loved looking around and watching people eat. 😂

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
