Walk Slowly
Two weeks ago, there was a respiratory virus outbreak on Judah’s floor and wing while Jesse and Judah were there. Thankfully, Jesse remained non-symptomatic and his care team was super accommodating even though Judah wasn’t able to go to school or the pool. He still had in person therapy in a designated gym. With a…

Up, Up and Away!
Day one and two in the hospital were pain management for Judah while he was laying flat. His pain medications decreased yesterday and will ideally continue to decrease. When I was singing a few different songs and snuggling with Judah while he was feeling more pain, he wanted me to “sing only the Jesus songs”! Yesterday…
