where have you been?
OK, I have no good excuses for not posting recently so I won't even attempt to explain. Dylan has been doing great in the last 6 weeks. He's sitting up (and has amazing posture!), he's scooting around like crazy and beginning to babble. Of course, I think he's already said "hi mom" and am going to continue to let myself think that!
Bryan and I struggled with the decision of whether or not to do the second helmet - even up to the day of the second casting. He had tremendous success with the first helmet, but there was still some work to be done. The team at Cranial Technologies were great about making sure we were educated on what may or may not happen. They said we should expect to seem some additional improvement, but given the severity of plagio at the beginning he would never have that perfect Kojak head. And that's totally fine with us. We did, however, determine that this was our one and only chance to make any sort of impact ... so we moved forward with the second helmet.
He had his casting for his second helmet on August 28. Bryan wasn't able to go with us and I was a little concerned about that, but Dylan was a real trooper! Below are some of the progress photos. The left photo was taken on June 2nd when we began the therapy and the right photos were taken on August 28. The demonstrates the huge improvement he's made to date!

Look ma, no more tilt!!
Look at that posture! You can really see the roundness of his head in the photos on the right.
This is where I see the most significant change ... look at the reshaping of the side of his head in the top right photo and how you can now see more of both ears in the bottom photo. This type of result is what makes all the travel worth it!!
