Round 2 of Helmet therapy...

July 2nd Hannah outgrew her helmet.  The helmet guys said she was looking really good...

Improved greatly but not completely...

So, here we go again.  Her head specialist was out of town that week, we were out of town the week after that (at camp!) so we had to wait til the 15th to find out if she needed another helmet or not.

Going in to the appointment Joel and I were pretty sure she would need one...

What a decision to make...the helmet guys told us it would be up to us as her parents and the doctor.

Um, do we leave her head the shape it is and in a few years have her hate us for it or do we pay for another round of treatment...?

Well, in the end it really wasn't up to us...the doctor said if it was ok with us he would like to continue treatment.  He said at 8 months old we still have time to help her more...

Then, get this...he said that Harper also has slight bossing on her left side...Hannah's is on her right side.  He said Harper's isn't a problem and doesn't need treated but he said both of these problems are because of how they grew inside of me.

Wednesday the 24th she gets fitted for her new helmet...goodbye purple butterflies (the design on the outside of the last one), hello sweet hearts...

The dreaded thing is that now we have to get her used to it all over again....

Time for me to get lots of helmet free snuggles in before next Wednesday...

Here we go again.
