3 weeks post-op.

And 1 week in his helmet. He is now wearing it full time and doesn't seem to notice it too much. I am still in awe of how much his head has changed in the last few weeks, he looks like a totally different baby. And I think you will really have to look for that scar eventually. Please excuse his ugly hair cut. I trimmed the front but couldn't bring myself to cut the back yet. It's such a pretty color and it gets all curly when I wash it. It will probably go later this week:(. This will also be my last post for a while. I will update every few months for the next year. I was so grateful for other mom's who blogged about their journey's with craniosynostosis. It was always such a relief to read their stories and see the results, and happy endings! Thank you so much to everyone who has loved, worried, and prayed for Everett with us. He is a lucky little guy to have so many people who love him (as are we)!

What a difference! I'm so grateful we live when we do. A little miracle for our little guy!

Dark blue=Purple

We started helmet therapy on Tuesday. So far Everett is not a fan. He is having a hard time sleeping in it, but I'm guessing he will get used to it soon. It has been an adjustment for me also. It is harder to snuggle him and I miss kissing his little head. But he does look really cute! They gave us an option of ordering the helmet with a color and design, so I picked dark blue. Simple. Manly. Why didn't the guy tell me it actually looks purple?! Especially in the sun, seriously. Oh well, I put a motorcycle on it and some trucks, do you think that makes up for the color?!

Also, amazingly, I have already noticed a difference in his head shape. I was freaking out because I thought his bone had grown back in the front of his head, but then I realized his soft spot was just further back. Which means his forehead is not growing forward anymore and his sides should be filling out as well. He is not even in it full time yet! He's on his way to a beautiful head!
