Day 796 - Still Vomiting 🤧 & Feeling Warm 🤒

Monday, March 6th, 2023

James at PT at the hospital 🏥 and unfortunately he wasn't feeling well. We still thought he had bad allergies but kept him capped for PT. James trying crying as we got on the 1st floor elevator and continued as we walked in PT. He kicked and screamed and tried to reached for Mom as the therapist took him back. Mom warned him that she would need to listen out in case he needed suctioning because he has had bad allergies. Shortly after, maybe 10 minutes or so the therapist came back with him covered in mucus. He had choked and thrown up on himself. But when James was handed to Mom it all transferred over to her clothes instead. They gave us a pile of dry wash rags to use to wipe down. Mom suctioned him and then the therapist took him back again for the last few minutes.

We got home just in time for Early Intervention therapy which we moved to Mondays. The GIF is of James dancing to classical music from Baby Einstein. The rest of the day James seemed kinda lethargic. We gave him another dose of Claritin that we started the night before. James did have another choking episode and vomited mucus in the evening and felt warm. His temp was elevated but too low to give Tylenol. We did have to put him on oxygen overnight on his HME.

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!
