“Your mommy is so strong!”

Yeah, she is!!!”

I have been meaning to get you a proper update. This post will be random as my mind is a lot of places.

Javi: I got to see my mommy after boomsie surgery! She has a pipe in her boomsies now. She has pain when she walks.”

Josie: “Your mommy is so strong!”

Javi: “Yeah, she is!!!”

Convo between Javier Delgado and Josie Z

Jamie wondering where her boobs went!

  • Night 1 of sleep was rough. Jamie needed to pee every hour on the hour.

  • She said she was grateful for the 2 years of Pilates, as she has been able to leverage her core to get out of bed.

  • Jamie cant push or pull anything. She cant pump the soap to wash her hands. She cant lift her stuffed animal - Frosty as it is too heavy.

  • Yesterday morning I went to go work out just to stay in the routine. I came back, made Lali and Jamie breakfast.

  • Jamie and Lali went to see Dr Potter (Reconstructionist) yesterday. They taught Lali how to do Jamie’s dressing changes and put Jamie into ne bra. Jamie said she almost fainted looking at her new body. It was a lot to take in.

  • I took a much needed nap while they went to the Drs. and I worked in the afternoon.

  • Lali made African Peanut soup for dinner! Thanks Lala!

  • We started watching Griselda on Netflix! So good!

  • Jamie slept much better on night 2.

  • Javi came over this morning before he went to camp. I may have mentioned that he has been with Jen and Ben. big thanks to them, as I know they have a lot going on with their jobs. I really appreciate it!

  • This morning, Lala helped Jamie shower for the first time. Jamie said that she stared at herself in the mirror for quite some time.

  • Getting Jamie into her binding bra was a 2 person operation.

  • Jamie is gaining mobility. Today she can bring her hands together to wash them. She sat at the dinner table and had a meal without wincing to much.

  • Jamie’s college roommate Nathalie is with us for the next few days to give Lali a break. We are really grateful for the help! They are just chatting it up having a good time.

  • I napped for 2 hours and 45 minutes today. it was lux.

  • Pops was kind enough to take Javi to Sugarland to spend time with the Zs this weekend. He will come back to us on Sunday afternoon. I really think that by then Jamie will have some decent mobility.

  • Oh, our homie Veronica rocked us a gluten-and-grain-free asian chicken meal. She rocked it out!

  • It really is taking a community to make this happen! Thanks! We are grateful!
