​Wes' Room

Like his sister, Wes's big, contagious smile draws you in! His diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy doesn't keep him from communicating joy to everyone in his presence. As presented by his Mom, Wes loves the outdoors, swinging in his swing and cartoons, especially Disney "A Bug's Life". Because of his fragile medical condition and his inability to be outdoors for long, he has been unable to enjoy his swing much. So, as we prepared to transform his room into a scene from, "A Bug's Life," we began to brainstorm about how to incorporate his swing into the room. The amazing design team from Southwest Scenic Group designed and built a foam tree, which we added fabric leaves to, and then attached Wes's swing to the beams in the ceiling so it appears his swing is hung from a tree branch. The pure joy on his face, as his brother and Dad put him in his swing, said it all! ​
