And then there was.....
Lucky number 13....sets of casts that is and we hope that is it. Westin's surgery went well, and he is now in his final set of casts!!!!!! We head back to Grand Forks to have them removed and to get him fitted for his AFO's on May 25th. I don't know what part we are more excited about. Being able to dress him without needing two of us to pull his pants on or being able to give him a normal bath. I'm so over these sponge baths. For the 4 months he's been alive he has had only 4 tub baths. First we couldn't give him a normal bath due to his umbilical cord/his stitches in his back. Now of course it was because of the casts. I think we will have to have our own tubby time photo shoot :) Below is a picture of our little trooper before his heel cord lengthening surgery.

Its about time....
that I update everyone!!! I'm sorry for the delay in updating.. its hard enough to find time to even find matching socks to wear to work!!
Just to give you an idea of what we have been up to. Westin is now 3 1/2 months old! I cant even believe it. we are also in our 12th set of casts, and Westin in finally ready for bilateral heel cord lengthening. The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow the 2nd. He was ready this past week but Westin got RSV from daycare and that delayed his surgery because he has to be able to pass his pre-op. So our goal is to be cast free by June 1st. We are excited to be done with those stinky things and get his AFO's. It will be good to get him in those so we can work on teaching him to bear weight on his legs.
Also we has Westin baptized on April 22nd. He was a perfect little angle throughout the whole service until we stood up to bring him to the front of the church... right on cue he started screaming at the top of his lungs and didn't stop until we sat down. :) but other then that it was a beautiful day spent with
family.
Also on Thursday the 3rd we have a head ultrasound scheduled in Fargo. We haven't had one since March 2nd and to me I feel like his soft spot has changed a little bit which is something we are always monitoring because hydrocephalus can develop at anytime. We are praying that everything is the same and that I'm worrying for nothing.. but its better to get it checked.
Please keep Westin in your thoughts and prayers over the next few days as we go through with his surgery and head ultrasound.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, or sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
