Having Company and Shaping Up!!

We had a great weekend. Jonathan's old college roommate from Louisville, Justin, brought his family down for the weekend. Jonathan and I have known Justin and his wife, Lesley, since our college days and we try to get together as often as we can for a visit. They have two children, Brennan and Rhyan. We always have a blast when we get together and Jaxon really enjoyed the kids being around. They played all weekend and it was so fun to watch Jaxon interact with them.
We also have very good news regarding Jaxon's head! We went to Dr. Kelly today at Vanderbilt and he confirmed what we thought our eyes were seeing. Yes - his head is shaping up!! This is really good news because it means that the helmet therapy is working. I thought that I was able to tell a difference, but it is so nice that the doctor confirmed it. Dr. Kelly made some markings on Jaxon's helmet, and then we headed to the Restorative office to get it adjusted. They carved out some more room for him to grow. He s doing well with the helmet and I will continue to keep everyone updated.

Good to hear that about Jaxon. We are still trying to figure out Addie's formula. Dr. suggested putting cereal in the bottle cause she was spitting up so much. Not too much change. We'll see though. Hope you're doing well.

I am so happy to hear that about Jaxon. I hope the Dr. gave you some insight as to what to do about him sleeping face down. The pictures you posted are hilarious. It seriously looks like Brennan is strangling Rhyan. Thanks for a great weekend...we had a blast.

This is an ultrasound picture taken in December. You can see it is a headshot. He is holding his hands up by his face and is even grinning for the camera!
