The Helmet

As most of you know, Ashton was being treated with helmet therapy for plagiocephaly. He had started with a flatness around 2 months old and by his 6th month check up Dr. Folland told us it was the flattest he'd seen. You know it's bad when the family friend pediatrician whose been practicing over 30 years tells you this. However it did make us feel better to know that it isn't necessarily from being on his back too much, some babies have softer skulls than others. So up to Primary Children's we headed. 3 head castings, 2 head scans, multiple pictures, at least 13 appointments, and 6 helmets later he was finally in the helmet that worked best! Treatment lasted for approximately 20 long weeks, and we're more than thrilled to say he's finished! We don't feel the results are as great as we originally had hoped for, but we're told it should just get better from here.
