Today's the day!

Ryan got his helmet today. He was diagnosed with positional plagiocephaly a couple months ago and I have been so worried about this day since we decided to put him in a helmet to correct it. Worried that my happy little guy would become so cranky. But we are working with an awesome group of people that know exactly what they are doing and have helped me so much! We are going to Idaho Orthodics & Prosthetics and working with Amy...I HIGHLY recommend if you are in need of such services!!
When we were leaving the dr.'s office I was really worried because Ryan was screaming!! My baby doesn't scream unless something is seriously wrong...like he just got shots or his PKU. That's the only other time I've heard him scream like this so I was about in tears myself & thinking how am I going to make it through the next 4 months!! After about 5 minutes down the road he settled down when we got to our stop I opened the door to get him out & he gave me a BIG smile!! A little reassurance for the mom...we will make it!!

These are a couple of pictures of his poor little deformed head.

Ryan is such a cute boy! I hope that things are going better with the helmet and that he is getting more used to wearing it. Let me know if you need anything! See you tomorrow night!!

He is so cute! The time will fly by and you'll be grateful for it! I am so glad you are going to Amy! She is so super! Tell her hi at your check ups for me! We only see her about every 6-7 months now! Good luck with everything!
