I updated the blog recently about our helmet experience. (You can read that post here!)
Long story short, Canaan outgrew the first helmet before his head was finished reshaping, so we are in the process of getting his second helmet made. Insurance has approved the second helmet, and he got his measurements taken last week. We go on March 12 to have him fitted in the new helmet, and he will be in it until we are satisfied with his head shape. (Hopefully 4-8 weeks)
We really debated if we wanted to get a second helmet, but ultimately we decided we didn't want to regret not getting it. In tandem with the helmet, Canaan is seeing a chiropractor to help with his neck tightness and ear alignment. This means I have 3 doctor appointments every week for his head alone! Fingers crossed we get a round symmetrical head sooner rather than later!
Here are some comparison pictures of Canaan's head
before the helmet (left) and after the first helmet (right)
His cheeks definitely got rounder... haha!
We saw a big improvement with the symmetry at this angle!
