Living Jaxsons life to the fullest

I've had a lot of people ask me about keeping Jax inside during the winter months, or anytime for that matter. I know I've said it before, but I thought I would give my personal take on the subject.
I've said before that I'm not going to live my life (or Jaxsons) inside the house all the time. Thats no way to live, expecially if you don't know how long you will have him. He goes where we go. I am grateful for my nurse so I can run errands and not have to take him out in the cold. But we go to parties, Jax comes too. You have to remember that they are not going to catch stuff just from being in the store. Someone has to touch him, or cough right on him for him to catch it. Germs don't sit and float around in the air, they die seconds after being coughed up. He doesn't touch the cart because he sits in his infant carrier. I have actually found the he does better not being cooped up in the house all the time. And if you keep them inside all the time, as soon as you take them out they will catch everything. Expecially if when you take them out just to go to doctors appointments. Hello, those places are the breeding grounds for germs. And with brothers going to school, we are doomed at germs coming home. The boys wash their hands immediately after walking in the door. But if they catch something at school, its coming home whether we like it or not. We do a lot of stuff as a family, Jax is a member of that family. He's been to Disneyland 4 times already. So my philosophy...live life to the fullest, you never know when it can change in an instant.
The funny thing is, that actually happened to us. We went to California, Jax was 4 months old. 2 days after coming home, Jax went into the hospital. After a week of slowly getting worse, thats when he ended up on the ventilator with pnemonia, starting our 4 month PICU stay. I'm glad we got that trip in. You know Jaxson has a lot of factors that make him suseptible. Heart disease, horrible lung disease, neurological damage, and now a trach that is direct access right to the lungs. Don't get me wrong, we are very careful with him. But also having a great time with him as well! Anyway, this is just personal opinion.

Last minute birthday invite. Seriously, if you live close to us we'd love to see you. And there's going to be some serious cuteness going on here too!
