Progress Report

Sebastian is doing amazing. He is just surprising us at every corner.
We have just completed 2 weeks of therapy and Sebastian continues to improve.
He can crawl, pull up to standing, open and close his right hand. He will bring both hands to mid-line and will actively hold his bottle with 2 open hands.
He is laughing more.
Talking more.
Getting into mischief more.
All of these things he was not able to do 2 weeks ago. (Ok. He's always been into mischief especially with his accomplices Rachel and Austin.)

He still gets upset very easily and it takes him a bit longer to calm down but he will play by himself or with his brother and sister depending on his mood. He is still a bit clingy with Mama but we chalk that up to his age and less to his injury. He was always rather clingy.

The therapists are working with him to try and get him crawling on all fours and teaching him to walk. All of these things he was NOT doing before the accident. All new tricks that he will need to master.

He looks great. Rachel and Austin are looking great as well. They seem to be slipping back into their old routines. Austin still mentions that Sebastian has an owie. Whenever Sebastian cries, Austin states that Sebastian needs to go to the doctor or to the hospital. I'm sure that all this will eventually fade from memory but probably not until we are through with Therapy.

The therapists don't think that Sebastian will need all the therapy originally planned. He is moving quickly and recovering at light speed. That is very encouraging.

I will post some pictures of Austin, Rachel and Sebastian in the next day or so just so you all can see how happy these kids are and so that I can have witnesses to the cute and silly that has over taken our house. Weldon and I are surrounded by cute and silly and some days you can't help but laugh all day. These are the good times we treasure and there will be many more to come.
