Happy Birthday Abraham Lincoln!

Lila was evaluated for molding helmet therapy this past week. It was a fascinating procedure using an eye safe laser to scan her head. It captures the head shape using 4 lasers and 8 cameras in less than 2 seconds! It then shows the degrees of difference between what is considered normal and what Lila's head is . It was determined that she would benefit from this helmet therapy and so we are taking the next step to get the helmet for her. She will need to wear it for 4-6 months and it should improve the shape of her head dramatically. It's ultimately our decision as it is mostly a cosmetic problem but since our insurance covers most of it, we are going to go forward with it. Maybe someday she'll thank us???

Lila also saw a new chiropractor this week. He deals a lot with children and infants and he was able to pinpoint 2 of Lila's issues (digestive problems and a weak immune system) just by looking at her neck problems. I was very impressed with him and he seemed very positive about being able to fix Lila's neck problems.

Lila also had her hospital follow up appointment with her pediatrician this week. Her oxygen levels were great and her lungs were totally cleared up. I breathed a HUGE sigh of relief after hearing that! We also were able to discontinue to breathing treatments. She still needs to take her antibiotic which she really puts up a fight over. I actually brought it with me and asked the nurse to administer it since I have such a hard time and the nurse did no better than I do. Lila just won't cooperate. Thankfully she received 4 full doses in the hospital and we do get SOME down her each day. Hopefully she can stay healthy and get back on track with her sleeping!

Sky continues to love school and is learning so much every day. Brad is such a funny guy. The other day he said to me, "How is my hair looking?" which is especially funny since he has no hair.
