Sounds like Adam has made wonderful improvement already! Great news

he'll only need to wear the helmet at night now! He'll be out of it

before it gets really hot & muggy . Thanks for the great update.

Keep checking in.

Hi Eileen!

I just wanted to thank you for posting this update -- as somebody

whose son is just beginning this process, it's great to hear from

someone else who started relatively late and who is getting good

results. My son 's initial measurement was 12, and I keep being

told how much older he is than the average patient (he's 9.5 months

now).

Is Adam in a local helmet, or a DOC band or Star Band? I keep

reading that the " active " style of helmet is more effective for older

babies, but my clinic only works with the passive helmets. I was

just curious about which style you have that is evidently working so

well for your son! (And also how long your clinic will treat him --

mine keeps telling me that they basically stop treatment at 12

months).

I hope his tort improves soon -- my son has tort as well. Are you

getting physical therapy for that? 's ROM is improving, although

he still tends to have the tilt especially when he's tired.

Wishing you both all the best!!
