Everett had quite the busy week!!
Summer is in full force here. We've been quite busy!
Everett has been referred to Cranial Technologies due to his misshapen head. I noticed it about 6 weeks ago and asked the pediatrician about and she referred us. So Friday Everett had his head measured to confirm my suspicions. And I was correct...my little guy is going to need to be in a helmet (it's called a DOC band). Here are some of his stats from the initial appointment:
Here's his head viewed from above...you can see how it's not completely round.
His 1st measurement was in the mild range...not a concern at all.
His 2nd measurement is definitely off and in the severe range.
And his last measurement is definitely off the charts.
These are the stats they send off to insurance and they did recommend the doc band for Everett. They were great at the office and instructed me on some physical therapy for him. So we've been working on that ever since.
Today, we went in to get more detailed measurements so they can make the doc band specifically for his head. We will go in next week to get it. And they said he should be in it around 7-8 weeks...but that all depends on how he is doing with it.
We also need to continue tummy time. But a lot more! About an hour a day with 10 minutes at a time. He's fine and happy the first 4 minutes...but after that...he's ticked! So we haven't made it to the full 10 minutes yet...I usually give up at about 7-8 minutes.
So he has gotten a lot stronger and can sit up better in the bumbo. And he's rolling over more. Probably to try to get out of tummy time!!
Here's our 21 weeks pictures.
My 3 cute kiddos!!
Happy at first....
...and then not so amused.
And my favorite pic...love this smiley little boy!! And he's been loving playing with his feet/toes.
