I did some research on the internet and discovered that Finley has brachycephaly and we are not alone by any means. I joined a support group on the internet for concerned parents with this condition:

This site also deals with plagiocephaly where the head has become lop sided and this can also cause facial asymmetry, uneven ears and different sized eyes.

I found out that brachycepahly can be measured in severity by taking a width measurement (from ear to ear) and a depth (from forehead to back of head) and creating a ratio percentage. Anything over 89% is considered severe. I took a ruler to Finley and with a keen eye I worked out that Finley’s severity was around 94%.
