Helmet Appointment

Today was Lila's 10 month birthday! So we celebrated by going to a doctor's appointment. Lila had an appointment 45 minutes away that remeasured her head with the 8 different lasers (she had this done at the initial consultation a few months ago to determine if she qualified for the cranial resculpting therapy, that is, to determine if she should wear the helmet). Anyway, her usual helmet appointments are much closer to us but they only have the laser scanner in this particular office. Thankfully, a friend of mine watched Brad and I was able to go with just Lila.
The doctor was pleased with her progress and said that she'll only need about 8 more weeks (depending on her growth). Please pray that she would really grow a lot over these next 8 weeks so that she can get the helmet off soon. I would so love to have the helmet off before the weather gets SO HOT. She sweats terribly under the helmet and I just feel so badly for her. Plus, our house doesn't have central air and it can really get warm.

Thanks for the update, Lori! Glad things are going along well!! Praying for continued progress and a growth spurt! To be helmet-free would be a wonderful birthday present for the sweet "Tov." :-) Love & hugs!
