James Meets His Baby Sister for the 1st Time!

On Monday, December 4th, we celebrated the arrival of our daughter, Ella Jade Abramowitz! 🩷 She was born at 37 weeks + 1 day at 7:58am, weighing 5lbs 11oz and measuring 19 ¾ inches. Ella is thriving, her health bringing immense joy! 🥹 She's already breastfeeding, a special moment for me, and she's passing all her health checks. We've even seen her hold a pacifier and lift her head!

Mike and I were anxious before the surgery, reliving our past experiences. Despite positive updates at all of Ella's prenatal visits, the nervousness was there. But, the birth was an incredible experience, beyond what we could've hoped for. Seeing Ella for the first time was an indescribable feeling of happiness! 😭 (Lots of happy tears)

We're grateful for everyone's kind messages and support. Since our 5am hospital arrival on Monday, it's been a whirlwind with very little rest. This new journey is something we're embracing fully. I'm recovering, staying an additional day to monitor a complication, but we expect to go home soon. We are so thankful to Juju and Aunt Robin for looking after James, who's just met his sister Ella for the first time. Check out the video of their first meeting! 😍

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!
