Helmets No More!



On the girl's first birthday, we meet with a physical therapist to take measurements of the girl's head because we felt they were mis-shaped. Our pediatrician decided we would go by the numbers as far as to the treatment. Well low and behold, both girls qualified for helmets to correct their head shape. This brought on several days of chaos and cranial x-rays. But we got them set up and helmets ordered to start treatment.

Creighton tends to be the one in pink if there is another color. So naturally, we chose a pink helmet for her. Elizabeth got a purple helmet.

Now everyone was excited because they could tell the girls apart. Well, no more helmets as of today. The national average is 3.5 and both girls are measuring at 3.3. So our treatment was a success and mission accomplished. Now the question in do I save the helmets in their memory box?
