January 30th appt update

Well I pulled up the blog the other night and realized the post I wrote a few days back never got posted!!! Sorry for that! Well this past Monday we had our first family adventure and That's exactly what it was! Our first appt was at 1:15. We left the house at 9 am and made it with about 35 seconds to spare!!! It started with a head ultrasound and this was the first one that I was around to see! Talk about nerve wracking.... Once done there we managed to eat some cafeteria food and then we were off to meet with the Neurosurgeons nurse practitioner. The news he gave us could not have been better. I was so happy I could have kissed him!!!! Westins ventricles were unchanged. We know that we are be no means out of the woods with the risk of him developing hydrocephalus, but by him not having it yet is HUGE. From all of the blogs I read from parents of kids with SB dealing with a shunt is there biggest problem. So we are still in the lucky 10%!!! Westin was also able to get his stitches out so as soon as we got home we celebrated by giving him his first real bath!

The original plan was to go back for weekly Check ups but because everything looked so good we dont have to go back for a month!!!!!

This coming Monday we go to Fargo and Westin will get his first set of casts. I hope this process goes smoothly and that Westin corporates... With all of the feet exercises we have all been working on he has really gotten a lot more strength in his legs!!

Here are some pictures of his first bath, and a few others.. Hope you enjoy!

ps. Tuesdaybwas the first time I worked with him on tummy time,so I put him down on his tummy, looked away for 5 seconds... I looked backdown and he was on his back!!!!!!!!!! Talk about one proud mommy!!!! So I tried it again and sure enough he rolled right over!!!!!!!

Also we want to thank everyone that has come to visit, brought meals, and gifts. Everyone is soo thoughtful, and we love you all!!!
