Oo I must ask ours to show me her graph cause she does log measurements into the computer !
I just can’t believe the improvement in such a short space of time really . It’s crazy but amazing!
This is the chart we got with his helmet in case you were wondering !

Ohhh that looks like the one we have, but just on the computer hahaha! I dont even know if I was supposed to take a picture of it, I done it when she left the room hahaha! I really dont think that he will be in the helmet for the time she said at the beginning, he seems to be a serial growth spurter, which is working by the looks!

Wow hun! Such a difference so quickly!
And what a cutiepie he is!
His cranial index is getting good!
Basically its the measure of the length and the width of his head. And when they have the brachio, the length and width end up similar so the % is higher because the cranial index give ya the % of the width to the length.
So if length is 16mm and the width is 15.5 you get near 100% but then thenmore the back rounds out, sticks out, the head is longer and then you get lets say 19mm to 15.5mm and then the % lowers.
Hes really getting in a good range for both conditions so quickly. You really made the right calls mama!

Pleasure!
My DS1 was borderline brachyo and 14mm plagio (severe) fortunately, both were caught at 2months, so we avoided the helmet since the head grows daily at that point!
But I kept seeing the physio weekly until he was 6months! So I learned a lot

They do explain but it kinda goes over your head with all the info you get given ! My head was spinning at our initial appointment
I’m glad your DS didn’t need a helmet!

Oh def! My head was spinning too haha! But the physio was nice, she explained it to me different ways and after many and many apts, I started to understand haha.
HE looks amazing! He is so ADORABLE. And his head does look great! (Did his ear grow too? Looks like it!)
Thanks hun, the family is doing well, thank you for asking. Rafael has a bit of plagio (4mm) so we're working on placement (he had a torticollis, but it's better now).

Wow his head has improved so much . His ears are if not aligned , are very very close . If I didn’t know , I wouldn’t even think he wore his helmet ! Amazing ! He’s so cute and I love his little outfit!
I think his ear has grown! Its still definatly an odd ear, but i think that's his own little trait now and that wont change haha! Im so glad Raphael is doing well hun, how old is he now?
