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.

BJ Check Up- 3 Weeks

Today we went to see BJ.
He was THRILLED with what he saw when he took off Easton's helmet.

When we started 3 weeks ago his measurements were as follows:
Cranial Width: 140mm
Cranial Length: 144mm
Cephalic Index (width/length): 97%
Left anterior to Right posterior: 149mm
Right anterior to Left Posterior: 141mm
Cranial Vault Asymmetry (difference of L & R):  8mm

AND TODAY:
Cranial Width: 137mm
Cranial Length: 145mm
Cephalic Index (width/length): 94%
Left anterior to Right posterior: 142mm
Right anterior to Left Posterior: 144mm
Cranial Vault Asymmetry (difference of L & R):  2mm

This is such an encouragement to us!
We are SO thankful that we chose to have Easton in the helmet.
We're so thankful that he's responding so well to the remolding therapy.
We are also very thankful for BJ.  I'm so glad we chose to take him to BJ.

We go to see Dr. Kelly Wednesday so we'll see how he feels the progression is.

Back to BJ on the 17th of March
1 Day before his birthday.
His.1.year.birthday.
He's growing up way too fast.
