LOC review - progress at last.

We had an LOC review today and Finley's head has grown 2mm ALL AT THE BACK!! Hurray we have some progress at last. Saeed said that the growth normally starts at the bottom of the neck and rises and his calipers may not catch the growth that is right at the bottom. I was pretty sure there would be a change as you can see it.

Here are the stats:

Age months 14.5
Head Circumference (cm) 50.1
Head Width mm 154
Head Depth mm 148
Severity 104.05%

So everything is moving in the right direction - we've just got to keep going now.
It's not really a problem for us, Finley sleeps through the night in it and with his walking and climbing antics I actually feel he is safer with it on. When we take it off for cleaning there always seems to be an incident and his head ends up with some kind of bruise on it!

Next review at LOC is in 3 weeks time on 25th April.

Hi Sarah. Fab news! So pleased to read the LOC review and hear progress is going well. Also I'm sure it's a relief that Fin is comfortable in his helmet now. Thanks for making us aware of this condition. Following Fin's example I've been keeping an eye on Ashton since he is born, all ok so far. He moves around alot and doesn't sleep in the same position for long, so I guess that makes a difference. The down side is he still doesn't sleep through the night! Speak soon. Love & hugs, Renee, Greg & Ashton. XXX
