Preston's Plagio (Update)

It has almost been 3 months now that Preston has been doing physical therapy with Cathy. Cathy has been more then just his PT, she has been such an amazing support and encourager through this whole process. At Preston's initial evaluation, Cathy was very concerned. She was mainly concerned that Preston's pediatrician had not referred us to her until he was almost three months old and because of his Plagio he developed Torticollis. At our last months therapy session Cathy pretty much told me that Preston was going to need a helmet. Chip and I discussed it and were completely on board with her opinion. We went ahead and set up an appointment with a Plagio specialist for July 3rd. Yesterday Cathy came over and she could not believe the progress Preston has made in 1 month. She told me that with the progress he has made so far, and the fact that both Chip and I are so committed to Preston's exercises, that she thinks he will not need a helmet after all. This is great news. Not only for the fact that helmets are not covered by insurance and can cost up to $5,000; but because Preston will not have to be burdened by wearing a helmet 2 hours on, 2 hours off for 6 months. Cathy tells me stories of babies and children she works with that have such severe cases and the parents could not afford to have a helmet made for their kids, and every time I hear a story like that my heart hurts for those families. I wish we had the means to be able to help other families, but one day we will. Here is a side by side shot of Preston's head on his first physical therapy appointment and on of his head from tonight. He will never have a Charlie Brown round head, but the amount of improvement gives me hope it will all be over sooner rather than later.
