2 month post op helmet check

Well, we had a helmet check, and his head roundness index is at a 77.5. It was a 77 last week, and a 76 the week before. The helmet doctor says it is not growing as fast as he would like. Granted it IS growing in the right direction (i.e. getting wider), and not elongating, but he'd like to see him in the 80's by now.

Most likely, we're gonna be in this helmet for another 2 months.

Now, that being said - I'm not worried about it per se. Just something to keep an eye on.

I really think that his head is BIG as is, so if it grew too fast, his head just wouldn't be proportional with his body. And the twins heads grew really fast during the first 6 months, and then slowed down a lot. So, that's why I'm not really too worried. He said everything is wide open for him to grow as needed, so I think it'll be ok. We have a well check in 3 weeks, so we will get to see what percentile his head is in.

Also, in 3 weeks, they are gonna do a scan of his head, to see if it is possibly just filling out more underneath in the back, since his head was so pointy before. If that's the case, that's fine as well. I'm anxious to see the 3D scan pics! Will post them if I can!

But I'm still gonna pray for it, and ask for prayer as well.

Need prayers for:

• Pray that his head continues to get wider
• Pray that the suture stays open and gradually starts closing as his head gets to the desired roundness
• Pray the doctors look at his individual progress, and treat him accordingly, instead of what they expect. Connor is his own individual. :)
• Praise that he is such a great baby, and that God instilled such JOY in him. Love that little guy!
