One Day at a time: SPRING YET?

Is it spring yet?

I seriously think that winter is going to go on forever. Wow once again I have forgotten to update the blog for quite some time so please let me get you caught up to speed with the wild life of the Wiberg's! I have officially been home with Westin for just over a month and we are loving it! Other then Westin's therapy appointment we come and go as we please... although this time of year there really isn't anywhere in this town to go.....but its still good to get out of the house. Westin is busy with PT. We go 2 times a week. We have started doing some E-Stim therapy so that he is used to it once we get out to Baltimore because part of the spinal cord injury program that he will be doing really focuses on E-stim. He actually does amazingly well with this type of therapy. Sometimes when the machine quits he almost cries, it must feel good on his legs?! He has also started pool therapy. He is slowly getting more use to this. Heck I would jump right in as the therapy pool is a cool 92 degrees!

He has also started to become more vocal. He loves to say "HI" with such enthusiasm to complete strangers. He also says:

Mom
Dad
Dada
Mama
Daddy
Fish
Glasses
Chasey
Auntie
Yup

Those are a few that come to mind. He sure has one heck of a wild personality though. When he wants something, he wants it like yesterday. I wonder where he gets that from.... :)

He loves to be around other kids. Today we took part is a pre easter "party" at a elementary school in town. There was a Easter egg hunt, arts and crafts, pet the real bunny. He was also able to see some of the kids that he use to go to daycare with. While there he wanted to go on his feet soo badly but what his head thinks and what his feet think are two totally different things. It breaks my heart to see him with other kids his age just running all over the place, but he doesn't feel sorry for himself so I can't either. No matter what I need to be his cheerleader. /

I cant even believe we head out to Baltimore 2 weeks from today.. where did that time go? I'm so nervous for the plane ride with Westin.. I'm trying to think of everything I can possibly bring with me to keep him busy, because we all know he WON'T be napping! While we are out there we are also going to make it fun. We have too, we have no other choice... not our ideal vacation but you make the best of the situation that you are given. We have baseball tickets for the day after we get there, the Orioles play the Minnesota Twins! I bought really good seats for Travis Bday gift! he was soo surprised that little old me could pull of a surprise like that! We also plan to tour Arlington National Cemetery. It's only about 15 minutes from where we are staying. I would also like to tour QVC so we will see if I can squeeze that is somewhere. From all the research that we have done it seems like a really fun city. We are very hopeful that we will leave with a lot of great information, in terms of Westin and his development and also a plan to get that kid a moving one way or another!

Here are some of the latest pictures. More to come after we get home from out trip! See ya in a month!
