First checkup...success!

We had Bela's first checkup with Cranial Tech yesterday. The orthotist said she could see some progress in her forehead and the back had rounded a little! I was so happy to hear this! I thought I saw some changes, but it's nice to hear it from her as well!

They shaved some of the foam in the back of her band to give her head more room to grow. Every time they see her head getting rounder they will shave more foam to continue shaping her head. Once they shave out all of the foam...we're done! :)


We go back in two weeks for another visit. Hopefully they'll continue seeing great progress. We're so proud of our little girl :)

Here are some pictures of her head after 1 week in the Doc Band...


The sides of her head are not quite as wide as before. This has allowed her forehead to get a little wider, it was narrow before.


See how it's round?! Well we can...it's amazing after only one week!


Looks flatter from this side. We still have a lot of work to go until her melon's fully ripe ;)
