His head had only grown 1mm in width and 1mm front to back since the last measurements in October. With such little growth I am so pleased we decided to stop when we did.
Finley's final severity percentage is 97% which for some would be where they would start. I was quite disappointed with these results but today the before and after pictures arrived in the post and we are now quite pleased with the results! I can see how much progress we have made. Finley has lost the point to his head and you can really see the difference.
I think the last picure above really shows how much his head has changed. Here are the before and after scan pictures:
Interestingly and unbeknown to LOC we stopped putting the helmet on Finley during the day from the end of July. I am pleased to see that it did not have any detrimental effect to the figures and his head has only grown out 1 mm in the last 6 weeks when he has been completely helmetless.
I am hoping that in about 6 months I can ask LOC to remeasure Finley's head to see what natural change is made. I would've found this useful and maybe anyone who comes across this blog may find it useful too.
So there you have it. Here is all the information you may need to see an example of the results of helmet treatment on an older baby. I hope some of you have and will find the journey diary useful when considering what to do with your own children.
