Rowan saw the doctor again yesterday for his head, and we have been referred to a specialist at Gillette Clinic. We will be going in a couple of weeks. Rowan needs to be seen for plagiocephaly, or in common terms, flat head syndrome. The first appointment will determine if we
1. do nothing
2. start physical therapy
3. have to go straight to him wearing a helmet (HOPE NOT!)
The good news is his head is still growing, but not at the huge rate it was before (he is at the 90th percentile now).
For now, though, the boys and I are heading north for some days of relaxation, fishing, swimming, and traditional 4th of July celebration. Jeff will join us later.
Happy 4th!~

I had a friend whose daughter wore a helmet for a couple of months. It was certainly annoying for the mom, but the helmet was actually pretty cute! They decorated it with stickers and stuff. Rowan will be adorable no matter what!! Have a great 4th!
Yup, we were close to a helmet with Molly too, but positioning her differently helped even out her flat spot. Helmet or no, he's adorable. Have a fun fourth!
OK. I have been waiting patiently- now where are you 4th of July photos! COME ON! ;o)
