Burton's in Jail.

He loves to play with the chairs when he's in his wheel chair or on his pony.

Burton after his EEG today, not a happy camper. He needed to be tired for it so he didn't get his nap and then they sedated him. He was mad when they woke him up, he only got to sleep about 20 min. Poor guy.

Burton has been doing Hippotherapy for 6 weeks now and loves it :) He gets so excited when we put him on the horse. The therapist command is "walk on" when she's ready and as soon as Burton's on he says "on" or after they stop to reposition him. He rides backwards and side saddle, they go through a water box and over a little bridge and he starts laughing. We see that this is helping him so much with his core muscles. He has 7 weeks left in this session. We're taking the summer off because it'll be too hot for him to be out doing it. Hopefully we'll have the $$$$ to do it again in the fall, our goal is to be able to do 2 sessions a year.

We've had some really nice weather here the last few weeks. Burton was able to get out and play in his sand box and enjoy his little pool. This morning he discovered the laundry basket and thought it was perfect to play in.

Spring Training Baseball

My dad and brothers came out for some spring training baseball. We hit 3 parks in 3 days. We saw the Houston Astros play the LA Dodgers in Kissimmee, FL and Burton was given a ball. Then we went to Vero Beach, FL for the LA Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals and Burton was given another ball. Last we went to Wide World of Sports at Disney to see the Atlanta Braves play the Tampa Rays, Burton got to go on the field after the game and run (get pushed in his wheelchair) around the bases and was given a bat. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. It's safe to say Burton like baseball or maybe all the snacks he gets at the games !!!

It took Burton only a week to figure out how to use his wheelchair. Now when we're pushing we have to keep telling him put your hands in because he wants to do it and if you stop he'll start pushing because he wants to go.

Check out my new ride!!!!! It's my spiderman chair. I can make it rock and go in circles, I can only do 1 wheel really good at a time but I'm working on it.
