This is our story of trying to round out our 10 months old flat head. He has mild brachycephaly\plagiocephaly and will wear a helmet. We hope to share the information and research that we find along the way and continue to learn as we go. Hopefully we can be a source of comfort to you in your own journey as we seek our own comfort in knowing that we're doing what's best for our son.

2 Week Check Up

Today we went to see BJ for our 2nd week check up.
He was very pleased with Easton's growth.
There are bumbs and knots coming out all over!
That sounds like a bad thing, but it's not, it's GREAT!
He will see us again next Thursday.
He'll take measurements of his head then for us to take to Dr. Kelly on March 2.
He's expecting 3-4% change on his cephalic index.
I'm anxious for those numbers!

So, here's the head pix for today.
2 weeks into treatment:

Look at that bump!
Now, that's what I call progress!





Easton continues to do wonderfully with his helmet.
He's napping and sleeping good with it and plays normally as well.
In fact, he's started trying to put it on himself when it's drying after we clean it.
We put it on the vent in the bathroom floor to dry and he'll go in there and get it and try to put it on his head!
Little stinker!
This has not been near as traumatic as what I thought it would be!
Such an encouragement to see this progress!

Happy Head Rounding!
