Nina’s Symmetry

As we mentioned elsewhere, there is a three step process to checking out Nina’s neck issues, and one of them involves checking to make sure she doesn’t have any skull issues. We’d noted that she has a flat spot, so this was important to us as well. It is pretty simple the way this happens… weak neck makes it so that her head is comfortable in one position. Despite our best efforts (when we figured out what was up) her skull, like any others in that situation, developed a flat spot.

So. We went to a… uh… skullologist… Melissa will have to help me remember what the real name is, but upon measuring of her skull, they determined that she was one of those “maaaaybe??” situations. To clarify, we have our choice, she can have a helmet now, or we wait a month and see how she does on her own. We decided on the latter, as she has been doing better and better with both her neck (to the point that when we get done with this three step process, I think her neck will no longer be an issue, just her skull) AND her skull, and the opportunities to lay her on her belly or her side, or sit her up have become much more plentiful. So we’ll give her a month and if she gets better on her own, we should be all set. If not? Helmet for 3 months.

(Wow, this is poorly written… I’ll need to fix this up later.)
