Update on Bronson's Noggin' :)
We were able to meet with the occupational therapist today. They gave him the "diagnosis" of Left Muscular Torticollis/Plagiocephaly. Basically his left side of his neck is tight and his right side is weak. His head is 12 millimeter off from each side... basically if you make an X on the top of his head and measure each diagonal then that is where the 12 millimeters off. They said if he was 6 months he would need to have a helmet. We have to do exercises with his neck 3 times a day with him and go to occupational therapy once a week for 3 weeks and then we will see what the plan is for there. He could still end up with a helmet which from what I've heard he'd have to wear 23 hours a day for as long as 9 months YIKES!! We'll see how much improvement he has!!

Hopefully he won't need the helmet, but if he does it really does work good. My nephew had to wear a helmet for a while and it did not seem to bother him too much and it really helped reshape his head.
