AJ's Birthday will soon here. The BIG 15!!! AJ is a Freshman in High School. I have  to constantly tell myself this. All I can say is where does time go.
Someone recently inquired about AJ and said the website has not been updated in some time. I was very excited to know the site does get looked at once in awhile. So I am inspired to make more posts.
So, on we go with an AJ update. AJ LOVES music. He is very upset when we take too long to change a video on you tube or when there is an ad which is mostly the case. With a wide variety of nurses and family he has quite an eclectic mix of music styles. Rock on!!
Health wise AJ is doing pretty good. We have used the vest therapy for many years and this along with inline (Ballard) suctioning has kept him well. I think I have info on the vest therapy in previous posts.
AJ's world was shaken up in 2012 with 14 new nurses oriented to AJ and several previous nurses leaving. Currently he has 8+ nurses. He did fine with the transition but I do recall a period where he just didn't want to respond to anyone. Kinda escaping in his own way I suppose. It was short lived but oh how typical of a teenager.
Our family has grown. We now have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 hermit crabs, 1 fish and 1 hamster. I often refer to our "zoo" in conversation.
Have a wonderful Holiday Season!!
