Caleb's helmet is ordered...

[Guest guest]

Well, Caleb had a ct scan on Monday. Wednesday the plastic surgeon

saw him, and said he has severe positional plagiocephaly. For those

who may not remember my intro, we just adopted Caleb from

Guatemala. So, his foster mother must not have ever turned him.

When I asked the doctor he said it was definitely not a birth

issue. He did say Caleb has a bit of a neck muscle problem, but it

is due to the plagiocephaly being so severe. He wrote me a script

for the helmet and therapy. On Thursday Caleb was casted for his

helmet. He'll be wearing it for 4 months the doctor said. The

helmet looks similar to a football helmet. I have printouts of each

side of Caleb's CT Scan. Thanks to the kind nurse for printing them

for me to send to my husband in Iraq. In the front scan, I can see

2 of his bottom teeth will be coming in first. I thought that was

cool. I also have pictures to share of him being casted on

Thursday. I tried to upload them, but it says the upload quota is

exceeded. I've deleted all my pictures from other , and

it still won't let me even post one picture. Anyway, Caleb's helmet

will be picked up on the 25th. 3 days before he turns 6 months

old. I'm eager to get his therapy started so he can start healing.

Each of my visits have been around 7 hours because of the drive and

waiting for the doctors to get us in. Its been a crazy busy week

this week. I ordered the blue colored helmet. Too bad they don't

come with a way to change the colors. Well, I just wanted to pop in

and give an update. I hope to find out what's up with me not being

able to post pictures. Maybe someone can give me instructions on

how to make more room? I deleted like 15 pictures from the adoption

group, and it still won't let me add a single picture here. Thanks

for any help. Also, one last thing. A huge thank you to Sandy for

all your help. I probably would still be waiting for a referral to

the doctor if it hadn't been for you. Thanks for all the great

info!

Hi

It's great to hear that you guys have everything rolling. I'm sorry

I've been so absent. Getting things ready for my hubby to come home

on RnR in a few days. He is supposto start from Iraq today to go to

Kuwait and from there to Atlanta and then who knows how home. If I

have to I'll pick him up in Atlanta. If I new when he left Kuwait I

could be there before he even gets there.

Email me or call me when he gets his helmet in.

Oh and it's not your quota that is over, it's this groups quota for

pictures. usually takes care of all the picture issues, but I

know she is very busy too.

Hi ,

Hopefully (stripes) can help you out with the photos.

tends to act up at times and this group overruns it's quota all the

time with so many members.

Let us know when the band comes in. You can add stickers to it to

kind of change it around a litte - check the files section.
