Day 823 - 🏥 Emergency GJ Replacement! 🆘
Sunday, April 2nd, 2023
Mom and Aunt Robin had a fun day in St. Pete. They went to see the Tall Ship festival, however they never actually never found it. 🤷🏻♀️ There was still plenty of other things to do there.
While we were in the hotel that morning before we left, Aunt Robin got a call and she said, "Yeah it's right there when you come in on the right". Mom asked her if everything was okay, because it sounded like either Juju or Dad was asking where we were parked at the hotel. Aunt Robin assured Mom that everything was fine. It turns out that James' GJ came out but Dad didn't want to involve Mom! Dad explains in the video below what had happened. There was a lot of stress and tears. After Dad got in the backup G-tube in Juju had to come by the hotel to grab the car seat and stroller. Mom had no idea this happened. Not only was it hard to find the hotel but Juju was not familiar with how to get the car seat out of the car and ended up getting help from strangers in the hotel parking garage. Then in order to exit the parking garage you need to swipe your room key which of course she didn't have, so it was pretty stressful to say the least. They ended up driving up to Wolfson's Children's in Jacksonville and back after St. Joe's wasn't very helpful. However the Pediatric Radiologist at Wolfson's was super helpful and asked his team to come in on a Sunday afternoon to do the procedure. At St. Joe's, James would have spent half a day in the ER, then admitted to the PICU for a few days while IR would find an opening in their schedule. The procedure itself only took 8 minutes at Wolfson's. Dad said it all started around 10:15am and then they were home by 8pm.
A pretty crazy day and Mom had no idea until Dad sent her the video (tomorrow).
