Helmet update...

This Friday, we are taking both kids to Dallas to Cranial Technologies to get their free consultation for the DOC bands (helmets). So far, Kinley's head has only gotten worse and Kason's ratio stayed the same, but his head is bigger, so it's continuing to grow that way. If we hadn't been doing all of the repositioning, their heads would be even worse. So, we've come to the reality that they will both be wearing helmets...how long, we won't know, and we won't know when until all of the paperwork, etc. goes through. They will most likely have to wear them about 4 months and we will have to go to Dallas once a week. (It might increase to once every 2 weeks when they get a little older)

The good news is that Kinley's neck is getting stronger everyday and we are really working hard on the stretches and exercises each day! Their babysitter, Connie, is also helping Kinley do her stretches and strengthening exercises and we truly appreciate all that she does for our kids! We know how hard it is to have two little ones, and are happy that she cares about them so much :) She still has the "no-neck" problem, but it will eventually come around!

This video shows the first time that Kinley laughed out loud. It was for her physical therapist, not for Mommy!
