Another Day at the doctor

This was a much different trip to the doctor than usual for Kennedy and I. We have decided to go ahead and get her fitted for the helmet fit to reshape her head. With everything she has been through and still deals with every day, this is the last thing on earth I want her to have to go through, but Kurt and I have decided that we need to do this for her, so that some day she won't be mad at us because the back of her head is a little flat. They had to put her in this dew-rag thing that was made of nylon and then put on on this little scan machine that had lasers that measured her head. It was actually really cool because it was painless and easy for her, but also once it was done the info went onto the computer and showed her head and neck in 3D! There were two different types of helmets, a foam one, and a plastic one. When I walked into the office there was a foam one on the desk and the guy started to tell me about everything. I have to admit that this was really hard, I immediately started to cry a little because the stupid thing is so big and ugly, and I was afraid that it would make her not even be able to hold her head up. He then said he thought maybe she would do better with the plastic one anyway because he head is so little. The only bad thing about the plastic one, is that it isn't as adjustable and once she grows out of it, well we have to fork out another 1800.00 for another one, and same with if she outgrows it again. He seems to think that she will need at least 2 before she is done over the next 2-3 months...can you say bankrupt! If anyone knows of any money trees growing around here let us know.

Anyway we got her all fitted and I just wanted to post some pictures of her before the helmet and then again after. This is probably the last time for a while you will see her beautiful little flat noggin without the helmet on!


It was kinda hard to take the pictures with her moving around everywhere but this gives us a good idea of what it looks like anyway!
