Plagiocephaly

We're back from Jude's second appointment with Doctor "Tony" Plattner. He did a great job working with Jude and explaining the corrective process to us. Here are some cool photos from the digital scanner they put Jude through:



We'll get his corrective "helmet" in a week or so, and it sounds like he'll wear it for 3-4 months. It should be off by Christmas. How's that for an awesome Halloween costume!

If you're wondering about the diagnosis, remolding process or why it's necessary, check out this FAQ for parents provided by the makers of the scanner.
