Parker is ALMOST done with his helmet!
We had an appointment at Arkansas Childrens yesterday, They rescanned Parkers head, and he only has 1/8 of an inch to go!! WOOOHOOO the first month (november to december) it changed 1/4 of an inch and they told us he had another 1/4 of an inch to go until it was even. From December to January it only changed 1/8 of an inch, so we still have 1/8 to go. The orthotist said it probably wont take a full month, but to let him wear it until we are happy with what we see. Im SO excited that we're almost done!

Wow! That seemed to go quickly! (Hope that's not insensitive because I'm sure it seemed much longer for you.) I just think it's great that Parker's head is doing so well. Congrats!!!

Vey cool. Do they recommend a 'maintenance' period where he would still wear it periodically for a bit to make sure it stays that way?
