- glad to hear all went well - did you go to Precision

Prosthetics and Orthotics in St. Louis? Just wondering - as we had

our casting there yesterday and are set to pick up Sydney's helmet

next Monday. I am glad Connor seemed to take it all in stride.

Kepp us posted - I'd love to see pics of how you decorate.

Great to hear he is adjusting well. ) Let us know how it goes

with the visits. Willow was 6months when she was fitted and her

adjustment was 3wks the first time and then 4wks after that, but we

never made it to our appointment dates. We always had to go in

sooner b/c of growing spurts. Good luck and happy rounding

Connor. )

PS: Willow's helmet did not seem to make her tilt at the time any

worse
