Update on Joey #2

Well, we had our appointment with the plagiocephaly doctor this morning... and all in all the news was good. Joey's form of plagiocephaly is considered mild (great news) and it is up to us if we want to push forward with the molding helmet to correct what we can (frustrating...we were hoping a definite answer would come from the doc) or not. Since Joey's flattening is getting better the Dr. said that chances are it's going to continue to do so; however, he would probably still have a little flattening on the side, but as his hair grows in, it would become less and less noticeable. But, if we do the molding helmet for a few months, we should see a nice rounding of his head, which would be even less noticeable as he gets older. Our final decision is to get the helmet; we definitely want to do all we can for the little guy now versus having him struggle with self-image issues as an adolescent. He has his scan appointment on the 5th of December and we should have his helmet a week or so after that. I'll keep you posted.
