They get their helmets!

Tuesday we went to Orlando to get Paige and Bree's cranial molding helmets. The helmets are to treat their plagiocephaly (flattening of the back of the head). They will have to wear the helmets 23 hours a day for the next 3 months. We go once a week for adjustments as their head grows. So far they don't seem bothered by them although Bree's seems a little low on the front; she can barely see past it. I will be adding new pictures to their photo album for everyone to see.
In other news: OT/PT is going well! They are continuing to go twice a week and we will find out tomorrow if they were approved for massage therapy. Then they will be going three times a week. They were also evaluated by a vision specialist from the Conklin Center for the Blind. We go Wednesday to begin vision services. The nice thing about it is that they will come to the house; we won't need to go to Daytona four days a week.
Overall they are doing great! We are very pleased with their progress and look forward to what they will do next.
