Day 666 - Attempting to Scoot While Sitting & James Favorite Waitress 🍣

Thursday, October 27th, 2022

Today James had physical therapy. We let him scoot all over the floor. He was on a mission. We are trying to get him to scoot sitting versus lying down. He understands, "Hands" means putting your hands down on the floor in front of you and "Scoot" he knows means he is supposed to move forward. We haven't grasped the the part about actually moving forward but he attempts it by using those muscles and still stay in place.

For family dinner night we took James to our favorite sushi 🍣 restaurant since this was the last week she could eat it. 😉 James saw his favorite waitress who always take the time to come over and see him. He just lights up! Amazing, because we both don't speak each other's languages but voice inflection and a smile is all you need. 🗣️


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!
