Day 768 - Coloring with Mom 🖍️ & Getting Stuff Done ✅

Monday, February 6th, 2023

The morning started out with James pulling Mom's necklace off her neck and breaking the chain. 😥 It was a necklace that Mom had bought online while in the NICU with James' on it and a little rainbow because James is a Rainbow Baby. 🌈 

James and Mom worked on coloring while Dad was out for the day. James wanted to put the crayons 🖍️ in a row and then into the cup holder on the tray. He was more interested in the crayons themselves than actually coloring. He did make some marks and we are improving!

Mom scheduled two doctor's appointments, filled out the sleep study paperwork, and submitted the police report requested by our landlord. Then we put in a late order for Instacart and had our worse experience yet. This guy couldn't find 50% of the items. The problem with Instacart is they are just trying to get as many orders done as fast as they can and will substitute anything. Example below. 🤣 You expect service when you pay for it. Unfortunately, the company is failing not only at basic customer service but it's down 50% since just last year.



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!

Image
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 is 3 months old!

Today Ella Jade is 3 months old! These are photos of her first 3 months. She is the sweetest little thing and about 12lbs! 🩷 Her little coos and smiles bring us to tears, absolutely adorable! 🥹 Everyone who meets her says, "She's like a doll". Sometimes it feels like this isn't real. Ella is always looking around the room, especially at whatever James is doing, just taking it all in. She is so strong, trying to stand, and holding up her head on her own. James continues to be such a sweet and gentle big brother. He is so excited about teaching her things, mainly about the difference between an oboe and a clarinet, or a mandolin and a banjo, but he's also really into circles and pentagons. 😂 Ya know normal toddler things. Time is going by too fast! These first three months have been a little crazy with the newborn stage, exclusively breastfeeding around the clock, and cluster feedings in the middle of the night. Although there were definitely days of no sleep, it...
