Bring on the Miracle Grow

Dylan is progressing, but it's slow. Slow, slow, sss-low. His therapist at Cranial Technologies, Rachel, says he'll wear his helmet for at least another 6-8 weeks and then we'll begin discussing our next options. It looks like he's a candidate for a second helmet, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I finally painted his helmet. We'd gotten so used to seeing it white that it didn't stand out to us anymore; however, now that it's painted it seems to be less noticeable by others. It's less clinical. Dylan's been wearing the helmet non-stop for almost 8 weeks now and we're so used to seeing him that way that he looks a little strange without it.




Attempt #1: I didn't realize that we were supposed to seal it after painting it. Rookie move. All the paint peeled off the next day at daycare. I was going to be creative and do a little beach scene - complete with surf boards and hula girls.








Attempt #2: I opted to forget the hula girls - a little too creative for me once I actually tried. Here's where we ended up. At least everyone now knows his name (although you'd be surprised at how many ways there are to pronounce Dylan).
