I asked her why she appears to look flat towards the top of her head, rounded in the middle and then flat on the bottom (in the back). She said that the flatness towards the top is normal and we all have a flat spot. Of course, we all felt our heads to confirm haha! The flatness on the bottom of her head is what they are focusing on now. She has rounded through the middle and she was happy about that and told us that's usually the more difficult spot to mold, and Isabela conquered that first! What a showoff we have!!
I remembered to take a picture of her head mold (headsicle) that they use to compare her head before she started to now...
I feel like the picture doesn't do the shape justice. In person, you can really tell how flat the back of her head was. Also you can see from a birds eye view, how it is wide across the top and flat in back. However, you can see how she isn't round on the bottom, we're fixing that!
They use the stocking to push her hair down to get a good look at her head. She looks like a bandit up to no good!!
There is progress to be made, but we are so thrilled with how she is doing. I keep saying week after week, but it's amazing how this works and she has taken to it so well! Teresa said that we're probably looking at 2 1/2-3 months, so we're halfway done! We couldn't be happier :-D
Hi, my name is Tina, and I found your blog through the Cranial Technologies DOC Band Facebook page. LOVE your blog! The title is so cute. Blogging about your daughters progress is a wonderful idea so years down the road you can remember every milestone in her journey. My son had a very similar head shape prior to his 8 week DOC Band journey. His Band did a superb job creating more volume at the back. Your daughter looks soooo good at 5 weeks! Just thought you'd like to know.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tina! That is so nice to read :) I'm having such a great time writing about our journey and I just know Isabela will love it when she's older. I can't believe how amazing this bands are. How great for your family! I bet your sons head is perfect and 8 weeks must have flown by!! Thanks again for commenting, means a lot :)
