Plagiocephaly

A big word for flat head. Cy loves to sleep on his right side. Well, love and sleep should not be in the same sentence with Cy but anyway when he is sleeping he is on his right side. Car-seat, bed, swing, everything, thus flat head. We tried our best to turn his head when possible, but we were more concerned about Cy sleeping in general, that when he finally went to sleep- we didn't want to disrupt him to turn his head. Now I wish we would have more.

Cy is most likely going to have to wear a reconstructing helmet. We have had x-rays taken, visited the Pediatric Neurologist, and have an appointment Friday with an Orthotic center that makes the helmets. Thankfully everything is developing great as far as his brain. We are lucky that it is just a cosmetic fix.

We are not sure how long the correction period will take, we have read anywhere from 3-8 months. But he will have to wear it 23 hours a day, with only a short break for a bath. I am really nervous about getting Cy use to it. He even hates to wear a hat!!! Please pray for him, and us! We are just now getting him to sleep better- this may throw another kink in the plan!
