Helmet Graduation

Ok, this is EXTREMELY late but that seems to be my favorite phrase anymore. As most of you may know, Natalie graduated from her cranial band on June 4th. She wore it for a total of 28 weeks! Because we started a little older with her and because of Down Syndrome, her growth was a little slower and she needed to wear it quite a bit longer than average. The last 5 weeks, she wore it only at bed time which was perfect timing for the beginning of our sweaty summer! Her last appointment showed very little growth and though she could have still improved in her anterior numbers, her overall shape was within normal ranges so she was deemed a graduate.

Here’s her final scan.

Thank you SO MUCH to Alexandra’s P.H.A.T.E. and Blake Norquist at Orthomerica for providing Natalie with the helmet.
