Had another trip to cardiff yesterday to review cerys's head measurements. Very slow progress again, only 1mm growth in 5 weeks!! But Rachel was happy to scan her when i asked, and the scan showed she is down to 90% brachycephaly, whereas the hand measurements had her at 92%. So we are not far off the target of 88% or below. In view of that we have decided to continue with the helmet for at least another 6 weeks, it seems silly to have got this far only to give up so close to the end. Rachel has shaved lots off the helmet in various places to try and alleviate the depressed cheekbone, which is our main concern at the moment. I will scan her pictures in later, which show her orignal head shape, and the one she has now.
