Helmet adjustment

It's been a month and a half since Justin started wearing the helmet and I'm already noticing an improvement in the shape of his head. It's still flat in the back but is starting to round out and his head doesn't slope as much from the top to the back. The orthotist took his head measurements which definitely prove that the helmet is working and shaved off some of the padding in the back of the helmet to allow more growth in the back of his head. I know we still have a ways to go, but in true Georgina fashion, I asked based on his progress how much longer she thought Justin would need to wear the helmet. She still thought he would need to wear it for 4-6 months but to keep up the good work and she'll see us back in a month for another adjustment. I'm hoping by then there's even more improvement and we'll be closer to 4 months than 6.
