Helmet

Rowan being born with Tortecolis, ended up with a flat back of his head... to the extent where we needed to get him into a helmet. After going through THREE doctors (orthopedic), we finally settled on one not too far from our house.

Insurance was slightly annoying about this (typical) and it took us almost TWO months to get him to the right place and fitted for the helmet... found out late in the game that the place we were first going to would not accept our insurance (after we already had consult and ALL his scans)... went to the second place that couldn't get him started in a reasonable amount of time.. and ended up with a place that we like that works really well with Rowan.

He will wear the helmet 23 hours a day for atleast 3-4 months to try and round out the back of his head... it has already been a week and the progress already is amazing! We can already see the roundness coming back, so we are hopeful this process will work!!


before (hard to tell, but back completely flat)


Week one COMPLETE!!

We are looking forward to seeing the progress continue!! He is being such a trooper with it, through the sweating and only one hour break, we are so proud of him!!
