We are making more progress!!

Our son (6.5 mo) had his appt yesterday for his Hanger helmet yesterday. He has been in it 4 weeks, 3 weeks 23 hrs/day. He was orignally 18mm off (I thought it was 16mm until I asked yesterday) he is only off 8 mm now!!! His othotist said he will probably only have to wear it 23 hr/day for another 6 weeks or so and then he can just wear it when he sleeps. His head looks so much better. I am so glad we got a helmet for him, it is tough seeing him in it all the time and the stares are hard, but I am so glad it is working! He goes back in 2 weeks.Robin
