Day 842 - Standing Up Everywhere 🧍🏻‍♂️ & Trying New Foods 🥣

Friday, April 21st, 2023

After a morning of physical therapy 🤸🏻‍♂️with Mom, we all headed to the International Mall so Dad could run some errands. This was James' first experience seeing an escalator and he was really impressed! 😲 James is standing up in his stroller now and screaming all the time! He played peekaboo at Lululemon and ate lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. James was very open with trying all of our food but his favorite was different types of bread. 🍞 If you give him just a little piece of anything he will inspect it, taste it, and focus on it for a good while. 🥣 He did excellent at the restaurant. 

Juju and Aunt Robin video chatted with James. After discussing the upcoming decannulation on Thursday Mom decided that we should go ahead and reschedule our vision therapy appointment on Tuesday. It's just not worth it to be in a doctor's office where there are just typically germs. When Mom called to reschedule unfortunately the next day open is over a month away. Oh well! We are trying to keep James as safe as possible to be on schedule for Thursday.

💉 Mom had her third blood test today. The numbers continue to rise but still not double. The number went from 246 to 445 which is only an 80% increase. The numbers are still within range so the doctor wants to go ahead and add a fourth blood test for Monday and schedule an ultrasound a week earlier than normal. 🤰🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻

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
