One week ago today we had our appointment with Dr. Gennuso, the neurosurgeon, and she said that in a month, we can graduate Nicolas from the helmet. YAAAAYYY! :) It's exactly 4 weeks from today because of the way her schedule fell (she only sees patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays and a month would have been a Friday so she put us up to the following Tuesday.) I am so excited. Eddy is convinced that Nicolas could be out of the helmet now but I'd rather give it another month to get even better than it already is. His head looks really good although not perfect by any means. It looks sooooo much better though. I'll take some updated pictures and show the difference. It's pretty amazing.
It works out perfectly because he'll have it off by the time we go to South Padre Island at the end of May. Usually, we go in June during Eddy's birthday week but the prices of condos during that time are ridiculous and we really wanted to stay at the beach so we got a much better deal during the last week of May, and we took it. Plus, Eddy's birthday week is now also Nicolas' birthday week and someone has a very big birthday ahead of him. :)
Tomorrow we pay a visit to Robert at Hanger to get more measurements of the head. I think we saw some more improvement so that's always exciting. Alex is getting the hang of behaving at appointments for Nicolas especially when we have the iPad in tow to keep him entertained. This Thursday, we're heading to Houston to see Anesha and her belly and celebrate her baby shower. I'm so excited for her. She's such a great person and friend, and I know she will be a phenomenal mother.
Off to do some disciplining...story of my life!
