In this past month he had...wait for it...no growth. Whatsoever. So he is still at 93% brachycephaly and unless he has a huge growth spurt next month we will not have made much progress. He went from 7.5mm plagiocephaly to 6.9mm plagiocephaly in the past two months so very minimal progress there as well.
The tech was very discouraging or realistic as Jared would say, his opinion is that if we don't see anymore growth this third month that we should give up. He said that there's no point in 'torturing' Graham with the helmet if he's having so very little to non-existent progress. I'm not entirely convinced I feel this way, I feel like we should try as long as we possibly can to fix it. Jared is of the opinion that we should give up after this third month no matter what.
I also feel like having the helmet has delayed Graham's gross motor milestones (crawling and walking). I feel like since we've already had the helmet on this long and he's already had those delays I want to try to get all the use out of the helmet that we can and make it worth the sacrifice we've already put into it. We will see at our next checkup where he is at and go from there.
