Helmet

We made the hard decision to get a helmet to fix your head shape.   Every since about 2 months your head was You had a little flat in the upper part of your head in the back.  We brought you in and they said we were doing all the right things by keeping you off your head and tummy time etc.  Id even hold you for naps so you werent on your head.  You also preferred to sleep straight back on your head even when wed try and turn your head.  

Once you started to roll youd sleep on your side or tummy...it was getting slightly better but still not great.  We decided to have your head scanned.  Your 4 numbers were all 1,1,1, and 2. 3 and 4s are considered severe.  Your numbers were considered mild.  The one measurement of a 2 qualified you for a helmet.  

We decided to move forward in case it did not round out more on its own.  We went and and got your light pink helmet and they cut some things off to fit to your head.   You were really unphased by it and even fell asleep while we were there.  We gradually eased you into wearing it 1 hour 1 hour off working up our way to 23 hours a day and sleeping with it as well.  You did so good. You never really fussed and continued to sleep really well wiht it.

We have had some slight rashes on the one side..hopefully that clears up. We are trying to dress you cooler so you dont over heat.  

We didnt make it to the first appointment a week later..you got red spots on both sides of your head.. so we went in for an adjustment early...they shaved off those areas to give your head more room. The only time weve really seen your head get super sweaty..was on a two hour car ride..you got pretty sweating. 

Hopefully we see good results and this goes by fast.
