We went to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta today and Jackson got another scan done on his head & some more foam shaved out of his helmet to allow more growth in the correct direction. We have GREAT NEWS! His head is really responding to the treatment. John and I have noticed a big change, but I think we just needed to hear it from the experts.
It's a little hard to explain, but hear it goes...The ratio they were most concerned about was the difference between ear to ear vs forehead to the back of the head. Meaning his head was more wide then long. That ratio was at a 1.009. It is now at a .949! To give you some perspective "normal" is under .92. So he is doing so well!! Much faster than expected.
Even more exciting is that all of this happened with very little growth, so he said he will probably have a growth spurt here soon and we will have even more results. The "slant & bump" have improved greatly too. Needless to say, it was a very good day :)
