Helmet Head

Ok, so I'm trying to put some humor into the helmet situation. When we met with Mary Free Bed on Friday it was definitely determined that Gavin is a prime candidate for a helmet. I've included one of the scans they did on his head. Basically what it comes down to is that with the back of his head being flat it pushes the rest of his head off including his ears. They send away the scans to customize a helmet for him and then we go get it fitted in a couple of weeks. He'll have to wear if 23 hours a day. It doesn't try to reshape his head now, it shapes future growth, so we're praying he grows fast, so he can get the helmet off nice and fast.
