Happy New Year Everybody!!

Happy New Year everybody. I stayed awake until about 11:00 pm at my Gigi and Pappys house. It was lots of fun. Mommy and Daddy let me have my CRO off all day today and Christmas Day too. I liked that of course, but I really have taken to it. The CRO is really a part of me now. I almost get more upset when it is off than when it is on.

Its already been 8 weeks I've been wearing my STARband!

It’s been one and a half months since I’ve been wearing my CRO now. We had a follow up appointment with my orthotist today and he made some more adjustments to the CRO to make sure it is working. He took some more measurements today, but stressed to us that the measurements aren’t as important as the condition of my head. I never seem to sit still while he is trying to measure me, so that makes it tough. He did mention, however, that after less than two months, that my head is looking better already. Here are the measurements:

Circumference 17 5/8 inches
Width 4 5/8 inches
Length 6 ¼ inches
Right F to Left R 6 inches
Left F to Right R 5 7/8 inches

**my diagonal difference is only 1/8 of an inch now instead of ¼ of an inch.

Daddy finalized our Partnership with Orthomerica Today!!

Daddy finalized our partnership with Blake Norquist at Orthomerica today. With their help, we will be able to provide up to 12 CRO per year to families that cannot otherwise afford them. What a great day. Its hard to believe we have come so far in such a short time. Daddy has been working on the website and is looking forward to helping any way that we can.
