Tomorrow is the big day! Jameson is getting fitted for his cranial helmet. Believe me, when I first heard of this helmet I was like no way we want to avoid that at all costs. But unfortunately after 4 long months of weekly physical therapy for little man and not enough progress on head/neck control, we've come to terms with the helmet being our best option. Not only is it meant to change the look of his head cosmetically, making it less flat on the one side, but will prevent any changes is jaw and facial structure in the future.
The problem really seemed to start with our long hospital stay, where the pediatric wing's crib only opened one direction. That lead to Jameson always being faced one direction which we didn't think much of while there since our minds were on a lot of other things. By the time we really noticed his head preference to the right it almost was too late. With his torticollis, even the physical therapy did little to help. So here we are heading towards the end of 2013 and ready to start our helmet journey for the next 4-6 months. We've already ordered lots of cute stickers and we're definitely making the most of it!
Hope everyone's doing well, thanks for checking up on us!
