Today he had his helmet appt and pt appt...plus had his first gig as a model! The hospital needed to update their take home flyer for positions to put babies who have reflux . He did amazing! He's not a fan of smiling at the camera, but the photographer got one great one of him play screaming as he threw a toy! Adorable!
I feel God has answered a lot of prayers, and we got to see them today. His helmet appt was great. The orthotist said he has met all his goals and his head is really shaped great...he's only had it on for 2 months!! Jadon hasn't stopped growing since having it on, so that sped up the change. Jadon will be wearing it for a little bit more to see if we can get his right forehead to pop out a 1/4 inch to make his face a litte more symmetrical. If Jadon wasn't sleeping on his stomach so much now, he probably could be done. But, I asked him if he thought the helmet would still fit him in 2 months. He said no, he'd be surprised if he could still wear it in a month! WOW!! Praise God! I was praying for super fast results, and he should be only wearing it 3 months max when we were told closer to 6 months!! Crazy! I thought I'd be super excited (which I am) but I'm nervous about his head going back. The orthotist said technically it could, but he's never seen one. Jadon's getting so mobile that it will help his head keep a nice shape.
Then at pt the therapist got his head rotated all the way to the right immediately! That has never happened. She always has had to massage his muscle or slowly try to "force" it over. Nope, he did great! She also said his neck muscles feel really good too...remember his muscle was so tight there was a thought of surgery to cut it and let it reheal itself. So, we go in for another appt in 2 weeks...then we may be DONE! Crazy!!!!! In 2 weeks my little guy could be done with all his hip/neck/and head appts! What will it feel like to have Jadon all to myself with no attachments and no appts...not sure. I've never JUST had a baby! I'm excited, but I'm am SO thankful that all of this was found so early so it could be corrected, praise God!!!
So cute, just relaxin!
A sneek peek of how my baby will soon look without his helmet!
