... dylan's plagio triumph ...

the progress continues

We had our second adjustment yesterday, 6/26. Dylan is doing well - he's growing and that's all he's supposed to do at this point in order to make progress. It's a challenge to travel all the way down to Miami for such a quick appointment. We are only in the office for about 30 minutes - that includes the evaluation with the therapist and the time it takes to make the adjustments to his helmet. The adjustment consists of filing down the portions of the helmet where we want his head to continue to grow and maintaining the contact/pressure in the other areas.

However ... we absolutely love our therapist, Rachel. She was previously a pediatric physical therapist with years of experience in dealing with torticollis babies and began working with Cranial Technologies about a year ago. She's got an amazing knack for treating babies. Dylan loves her (even though she's the one who made a cast of his head!). She's warned us that he'll likely need to wear two helmets given the severity of his plagio, but we're still keeping the faith that by the time he outgrows this helmet his therapy will be complete.

Oh, we took the Angel Flight again this week. It was MUCH better than last week - all of the planes had AC and the weather was about 20 degrees cooler (and mommy took some motion sickness medicine just to be safe!).
