6 More Weeks of Winter

This is Maycie when we very first got started the end of February the beginning of March. To be honest I totally could not see this at the time. I can now, but I couldn't then.
This is Maycie 6 weeks ago the night before we got the second helmet. You can still see a slight flat spot over her left eye and she was still tilting her head some.

This is Maycie now. Her head tilt is gone and her forehead is almost even! The keyword there is almost. We went in for her check-up with the Plastic Surgeon today and he was very pleased with how much progress she has made. But we aren't quite there yet. The good news is that in 6 weeks we will most likely be done! He said that he would like her to where it 6 more weeks then we can take the helmet off. He would still like to see her to be sure.
I know that saying 6 more weeks of winter sounds funny, but that is what I thought of. It was kind of like the ground hog saw his shadow today. It's not so bad really. 6 weeks isn't really that long at all!
So now we are down to Physical Therapy once a month, and there is a good chance that our next visit may be the last! We will have a visit with Fit Well in three weeks to check the helmet and then three weeks after that we should be in for our last visit with the Plastic Surgeon! It is hard to believe that after 5 months it really may be almost over! After 5 months 6 weeks is nothing!
