Nazi Mom - 1: Baby Helmet Manufacturers - 0

Yesterday was Ike's first follow up visit with the neurologist. What a relief! His torticollis is gone, so no more neck therapy! This makes my life a LOT easier. Also, the doctor said that his head is rounding out nicely so he won't need that 3,000 dollar helmet!!! There are some in my family who have resorted to calling me "Nazi mom" because I tend to be very strict about certain things with the kids. Well, as Jordan mentioned to the doctor, this time my Nazi mom qualities paid off! I was religious about keeping Ike off the back of his head (except for nighttime sleeping, diaper changes, and the occasional photo op), and wouldn't you know, I just saved our family 3 grand. Anyway, the doctor said that while Ike's head is still in the 95th percentile for growth, so is the rest of his body...so she's not going to order another ultrasound yet. She is still concerned about the size of his soft spot (it's very large), but based on his progress, she is extending the time between follow up visits to every 6 weeks! Thank you Jesus!
