A Place For Jace

05/27/2026

We got Jace switched over to Texas medicaid, finally. They've got some pretty cool extras that come with it. Not like Oklahoma's but I was glad to have got that situated.

Jace had some limping going on with his leg that he had surgery on along with some bouts of aggression. He was given a trial of pain meds but no behavior changes. He was then taken to see his orthopedist. Everything looked good. Behaviors may have stimmed from a peer having meltdowns on the unit and also from not being used to a new peer.

I was able to talk to the orthopedic surgeon and they did an x-ray for his back for me as he was diagnosed with scoliosis prior to being placed in the facility. He is doing fine, no issues with his back that could have caused limping. I was also informed he is finally done growing. He's so tall already so im super relieved lol That boy towers over me. 😆💙

The pool will be opening soon and if he gets PT done or at least started before then, he'll be able to swim. Yay! He loves the water. 😊👏🎉

He's going to be having a birthday soon, I will be posting info on how to get him cards and gifts.
🎉🥳🎁🎈🎊🎂🤘😎

So glad my baby boy is doing so good. Miss him and cant wait to hug him and hold him again!

Me, Mom & Liam.. Sugar, too.. got to talk to Jace tonight. I got off work a little later than usual but was about to get on video call with Jace before he went to bed. I read him a book and made him laugh. God, I miss that boy and his laugh. Cant wait to go visit again soon. I mailed him his babies, his Fender and Rodney Copperbottom plush toys from the Robots movie. He'd been asking for them for a awhile now. Gnight 🌙

Did our usual Friday night video call with Jace last Friday. He was in good spirits and also got to talk to his Uncle Justin, his cousins Jaz and Bubba, and their babies. He had a bad day yesterday. But was doing pretty good today.

Jace was able to call me today, we also got his big brother, KJ on the phone to talk to him. And Liam jumped on the call, too. Had all three of my baby boys on the phone together, was the best call ever like KJ said. 😁

We're hoping to see KJ this Friday so that Jace can see him in a video call. 💙🧩🥰

Talked to Jace last night. He was sleepy, they woke him to talk to me. He wasn't as talkative but I did manage to make him smile and laugh. He's been doing pretty good. He's no longer using the wheelchair and able to put weight on his leg. If he does stay on his feet for too long he'll need pain meds but there's no stopping this guy. Lol I am so happy he's healing and able to participate in outings and he also has been attending school full time the last couple weeks. No seizures to report. Overall he's doing great! Thanks for the prayers and good vibes. 💙🙏💯🙌😊

Jace had a neuro appt this morning. His topamax will be increased. Hopefully we'll see a decrease in his seizure activity.
