a cranial band...
if your kid doesn't have one you must NOT get one! just kidding..
It has gotten better but the first day was so sad :( she and I cried a lot throughout the day for Evie that is rare...me maybe not so much! ha
She was having a hard time crawling and looking up so she would just sit there and play with what was around her. Friday we took her back up to the doctor to get it adjusted some so it sits higher on her forehead. It made a big difference and looks so much better!
She is getting used to it but she hates when we take it off and put it back on. It is so tight that is scrapes her head when we do it. It twists when she sleeps and squishes her ear and it has rubbed the skin off and made her eyes swell. We are praying it will do its job! I hope it doesn't bother her as much as it bothers us.
We go back to the doctor next friday and see if it has changed at all. She should hit a growth spurt soon and that is when we will notice the biggest change! I just keep saying...she wont remember...it could be a lot worse ....we made the right decision...over and over. I need some encouragement from you guys whose children had it!!!
She does look cute in it though!
we decided since she was wearing a helmet it would be safe....
Every day is getting better so hopefully it will turn out great! I feel that our job is to do what we can to make our child's life easier and hopefully that is what we are doing.
I can't even imagine how hard it is to see little Evie in that helmet all day long :( But she does look really cute! Just know you are doing the right thing, even when it's really hard. She will be so glad you did what was best!
