Walt has been attending physical therapy for 8 weeks to treat the Torticollis, and although we were hoping to avoid cranial orthoses, it is ultimately necessary in order to fully treat the Plagiocephaly. After several trips to the Hanger Orthotic Clinic for measurements and tracking progress, Walt was finally fitted for his helmet on September 27th. We decided to go with "Georgia red," and decorate it to look just like a Georgia bulldog helmet! We are still waiting on some of the decals to be custom made and so excited to see the finished product! :)
As any parents would be, we were a bit apprehensive at first. Would he be uncomfortable or in pain? Would he scream his head off every time we put the helmet on? Rest assured, being the happy baby that Walt is, he hasn't skipped a beat! At least not yet. After all, it has only been 36 hours or so.
