The Journey of James Weston

Sunday, February 26th, 2023 Tons of photos! Very busy day! Dad started off the morning playing "Dress Up for School" with James. Several adorable photos! 📸 Then we met up with some new friends for breakfast at a diner 🍳 and then headed to the zoo. 🦒 They were in town from Minnesota. The Dads know each other through one of his groups called Front Row Dads. It was a very hot day. 🥵 James rode the carousel 🎠 several times and it was the first time we saw James get competitive. 😂 He was excited as always to see the giraffes!  Afterwards Mom and Dad thought they could grab dinner and James would stay sleeping in his carseat. Too bad we chose a spot with loud latin music. 🙉 James woke up and we left to run some errands. Dad wanted to take James to Sam Ash where Dad currently gets guitar lessons. As soon as we walked in James lived it. He pointed to every guitar and instruments hung on the walls. Dad played them all for us. 😂 Then we headed over to Lowe's because Mom wan...

Saturday, February 25th, 2023 James explored his new 360 drink cup. We're not quite sure how the water comes out yet. 💦🤷🏻‍♀️ Dad watched James as Mom stepped out for a few hours to run errands and then vacuumed and mopped the floors at home. Video below showing James on this day 2 years ago and James today. It was our first skin to skin on Day 56.  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

Friday, February 24th, 2023 Mom thought we had physical therapy at the hospital 🏥 at 9am, but it turned out that doesn't start until next Friday. However the therapist said that it would actually work out today because the other person had just called to switch to 9:30am. 😅 That was good because it was such a hassle just to get there! Moving forward we will have confirmed times for Monday and Friday mornings for PT at the hospital. James also has therapy Tuesday Wednesday Thursday. So there's therapy 5 days a week! It took James a while to calm down, since Mom again needed to stay in the lobby while the therapist took him back. You could hear him screaming throughout the entire place.  Afterwards, Mom took James to the dollar store mainly to get new pool noodles. We needed to redo the bed railing covers since they were ripping. James picked out blue ones! Well James was pretty tired from PT and wanted to take an early nap. It was pretty obvious since he had a meltdown at the ...

Thursday, February 23rd, 2023 Most of the photos explain themselves. James scooted all around today. He is pushing furniture out of the way and climbing over us if we're in the way! Today his new mini infinity bookbag arrived. It's actually made by Moog which is the brand of the feeding pump, so it's adaptable. It's also extra tiny because it's meant for little ones and only to hold their pump and feeding bag. We are going to start with with James wearing it while it's empty. The next step would be to just put the pump in by itself. That is going to be a little tricky considering James is on a continuous feed and we don't have a backup pump. 🎒 ☎️🤳🏻 In the afternoon Mom took a nap with James for maybe 20 minutes. Of course during this time this is when the pulmonologist left a voicemail asking her to call back. When Mom did call back the office let her know that he would be unavailable for the rest of the day because he was at the hospital. 🏥 Mom told the...
