We had a follow-up appointment for Theo's head today. We received more encouragement. He has dropped down to a difference of 12 mm (still hoping to get to 8 or 9). His cranial index measurement has also come down to 86%. We aren't as worried about it because he was almost normal to begin with, but now he is really normal so that is good.
The technician informed me that Theo would most likely need a second helmet. Apprarently his head has grown so fast that he is outgrowing his helmet (which is really rare - only a couple of other kids have ever needed a new helmet during treatment, let alone in less than 6 weeks!). So we will have to see if indeed they do recommend a bigger helmet at the next review. We are sure the jokes are going to start rolling in about the size of head on this boy. He is going to give Jack a run for his money.

Great news!
And trust an Anderson to be outside of the "norm". :-)
I am so glad that Theo's head and the helmet are working together. When I saw Theo topple over in the video, I thought maybe a helmet would be wise for all babies.
