So for a while now, her "flat spot" has become a source of worry for me, especially once the pedi gave us a referral to see a cranial helmet specialist. After MUCH online research and hearing arguments for and against these helmets, I was torn as to what to do.
So this past week, we made the trip to the doctor, and thankfully my wonderful mother-in-law was able to go with me for some support! We were both expecting to go in to hear a doctor try and convince us how important this helmet was and be scared into getting Anna fitted for one. Many of our friends and family knew about my worry and lifted her up in prayer- let me say we serve an awesome God!
I was so anxious when we arrived at the doctor's office, that even the kindness of the office receptionist put me a little more at ease! When we were called back, we were greeted by the nicest doctor who shocked us by saying Anna's head looked like it would round out on its own just by looking at it!
Then she tools some measurements, which Anna did NOT find very fun! But doesn't she look like the cutest little gnome! haha!
Here is the super cool computer image of Anna's head!
After looking at the measurements, the doctor concluded that Anna was actually in the normal range for head shape and a helmet was not necessary! I can't even describe how it felt hearing those words and feeling the stress of worry being lifted!
I know there were many people praying, and I just want to send out a huge thank you! :-)
And now the only thing left to say is.... more tummy time!!!
