Twins Turn Two - A Taco TWOsday Party

Before social distancing was a thing we had the boys second birthday party! It was a wonderful day filled with tacos both real and made of cake, friends, family and a ton of fun! As per usual Rory was most excited for the cake and Jack was suspicious of it and refused to take any bites. Jack however, was super into opening presents, especially reading the cards. Here are some pictures taken by the magnificent Alex Kelly of Charmed Photo of the event!

Jack Had Surgery

On Monday Jack had a routine surgical procedure done called a microlaryngoscopy with excision of granulation tissue from his trachea. This procedure is common for trach kiddos as granulation tissue can form around the trach site in their airway.

Tomorrow we will have two two year old boys. I can hardly believe that we have had them in our lives for two years. They are so special and incredible and I cannot imagine living life without them.

Jack is in the Hospital... Again

Having a special needs and medically fragile kiddo is like living life on a roller coaster. Not one of those mild, mostly for kids rides you find at Disney but a giant, long death defying ride that you can only find one of in the world because they are too scary to share with the masses. One minute everything is fine, you are moving slowly the wind is in your hair and you are optimistic about the ride. Then before you know it your entire world is upside down and the only thing between you and a certain death is a seat belt you are positive has not been safety tested since the early 90s. While that sounds overly dramatic it is truly how I have felt for the last several days.
