by Someone’s a happy boy to be out of bed and in his Mommas arms.
Not going to lie, I’m pretty happy too. 💕
Now that we are a week out from his trach being placed and he’s had his first trach change he’s allowed to get out of bed for cuddles, and they were very much needed.
The next few days we’ll spend chatting with the team about what’s next in terms of his care plan, while exciting and optimistic, it also makes me a little anxious to think about what’s next since we’ve been taking things largely one day at a timely until now and this is a more “long term” conversation. Long term meaning weeks at a time – which in terms of AJ and his care plan is something we’ve never really been able to do. Definitely thankful we are in a better place that allows for it, and praying for a good plan of action!!
Aaron’s mom arrives on Monday, and on Wednesday I leave AJ behind the first time to fly home and be with the rest of the family for Thanksgiving – with many thanks to a friend for supporting my flight costs home for the holiday. I’ve been home once since 9/7 when AJ was born, and I definitely look forward to spending some time with Aaron and Averie and just being in my own home. Aaron’s mom will be keeping my room at the Ronald McDonald house here while I’m gone. I’m thankful that she was able to come up to spend time with him while I’m gone so he’s not alone for the holiday either. Here’s to hoping I handle the few days away from him with grace!
For now, I’m going to head back in for some more snuggles with my baby. 💕. Thank you to everyone for your continued well wishes and prayers. It’s amazing how far we’ve come in the last couple of months and I truly believe everyone’s support has been a huge part of AJs progress and successes. 💕
