Helmet head

We finally went back to the helmet place. It's been a month since she's been out of the Helmet. The helmet dude (he's not a doctor, not a therapist, so he is the helmet dude) was shocked that the helmet still fit. The only problem was that it pushed her brain up and created a lump at the top of her head. I wasn't comfortable with that and he wanted the entire area there is no bone covered. So she was measured for a new one. So long as there aren't any issues again with insurance she will be in it in 2 weeks. I'm hoping that's the case because the sooner she gets in it the better it will be. Not only will it hopefully aid in shaping the rest of her skull so she can have another surgery, but it will also protect the area with no bone. 

The time she was in her helmet was well worth it. Symetrical her head started off at a 10.5. Normal is under 3. Today she was at a 3.4!! She does have a bulge on the right side of her forehead and that helped a little but the back of her head looks much better. I don't notice these things because I see her 24/7 but helmet dude noticed and the scan confirmed it. I'm glad something finally has gone correct. The length/width ratio has increased, but that was expected because she doesn't have a bone on the right side anymore. 

Amelia really loves her helmet. She got super excited when he put the helmet on her and then got sad when he took it off. That's a blessing because I can't imagine how uncomfortable that is for her and she doesn't mind it. I'm so blessed to have such a happy, go-with-the-flow, compliant girl. She for sure gets that from her daddy. I'm typical type a, everything planned, everything perfect!
