Day 688 - Strong Man 💪🏻James Visits Bonefish 🍽️ & Plays Cards ♣️

Friday, November 18th, 2022

After a long day of playing, we decided to do Family Dinner Night tonight instead because it worked better with Dad's work schedule. We ended up at Bonefish, because it was just one of those weeks and we deserved it. James was dressed for the occasion in his sweet sweater embroidered by Aunt Robin. James was off the vent for his 3 hour trial, so we just carried him in and sat him in a highchair. It is the most amazing feeling to leave the ventilator in the car and just carry your baby. We don't know anything different with James being our first. Sometimes difficult experiences make it much easier to find gratitude!

James was such a big boy playing with his crayons! Thank goodness the table cloth is just more paper. James was great at first and then he didn't want to sit in the highchair anymore. Mainly because it was just getting too late and he was tired. Once we got home James joined Mom and Dad for some Gin Rummy.


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!
