Pop Pop and GG
Joan and Joe Gonzalez (aka: Pop Pop and GG) are here and we are so happy to see them every day!! Pop Pop is the early bird and helps Joy with any difficult "bubbles" and GG is the late night gal that helps Larry with the last late night feeding before bed. We are starting to fall into a routine. Feedings are about 4, 7, 10 and 1 (AM & PM) Makes it easy to remember! :)
Even though I am recuperating, I am not one to let moss grow on me, so we have been keeping busy. I think Pop Pop and GG will be addressing me as a Drill Sargent pretty soon. I keep a tight ship and let them know what the plan is for the day and when we need to hit the road etc. They are taking it in stride... I hope. We really love having them here. I told them they could stay forever and pick any color of paint they like for the guest room.... ha ha ha.
Mr. James Update
James is just beautiful. We are having a good time getting to know him each day and learning how to better care for him. Thanks to Pop Pop and GG help too!!He's had some struggles with gas and we have had to try many different techniques to get the bubbles out. Next new technique will be to start incorporating Infant Massage to the daily routine. Larry picked up an Infant Massage book and it looks really fun and a wonderful way to bond with JJ. Initially I thought it was kinda silly, but reading it and looking at the techniques, it will be a great way to help James relax and bring us closer together.
Labor Day Picnic
Last Sunday we all went to Long Lake for a Labor Day picnic with the Kennedy family, Joy's Dad and Grandma and Dee's family. It was a beautiful day and everyone had an excellent time playing games, eating and visiting. James was a hit and he loved being outside in the wind. He slept very well that night! Blue was able to come with us too!! Can't forget him!
Joy's Health update
Today is a good day. A wonderful milestone has occurred. I am disconnected from the Wound Vac! Hurray! We are 95% sure that it will not have to be put back on. I have a follow up doctor appointment Monday 9/8, and we'll be able to validate the progress and assess the next steps and timeline for a full recovery! HURRAY!!
That is all I have time for now!
Love you all! and hope to see you soon! Don't forget to visit!
Joy, Larry, JJ, Blue & Chan
