Well Jack did fine with the casting -- he apparently cried more

waiting to get fed this mornning than he did during the casting. The

CT techs even commented on how calm he was during the process.

Hopefully that bodes well for when he actually gets the helmet.

They didn't take new measurements but they did take new pictures. He

was classified as moderate to severe on April 28th. From the

pictures, he looks like it has gotten better in the back, with some

rounding. However, the front looks like it has more rounding/bossing.

But his ears look much better. So the repo has been working.

Hubby didn't know how much insurance was covering yet either. He gets

the helmet June 2nd.
