20% Fixed

Last week Silas and I went to the doctor to get his helmet adjusted and we found out his head is 20% better!  At Rebound, they measure his head from the left front to the back right and then the front right to the back left and take the ratio of the two.  Right now he's at a 12 and he was at a 18 before.  A perfect head would be zero, meaning the dimensions would be the same.  We can already see a difference in the shape of his head, but there is still a ways to go.

Silas doesn't seem to mind wearing the helmet but it still seems to bother him at night.  He wakes up more often now than he did before the helmet.

One thing we noticed is that when you take the helmet off, he is a much happier baby.  He starts smiling and then touches his head. He really likes when you rub his head - if he were a cat, I'd swear he'd start purring.  All in all, the helmet is doing its job and we have at least a month and a half left.
