The Plastic Surgeon said that Avery's incision site is healing nicely. The symmetry is not quite where we would like it to be though. We have been referred to Cranial Technologies to be fitted for a helmet. The helmet will not guarantee to do anything, but it may help in creating more symmetry. Insurance oftentimes will not cover helmet therapy....we are hoping it does!

Plastic Surgeon, Geneticist & Helmet Therapy
We met with the Plastic Surgeon and Geneticist today. The Geneticist emphasized again, that she doesn't think there is a connection between Avery's health issues, but that genetic testing still has a way to go. She will continue to monitor and watch Avery and will likely do more testing as she gets older. She also recommended re-starting Physical Therapy to help with her tilt, spine & neck. Otherwise, she said that Avery is progressing wonderfully and developing normally. We will see her again in 6 months.
