We went in for another head scan. Ryan's asymmetry was down again but just by .5mm. Since we had seen visible improvement, I think we were under the impression the numbers would be better. Because of that, we weren't prepared to make the decision to band (get the helmet) that day. We are again waiting another month and seeing if more progress is made. He will be 8 months at the time, still within the range to see good progress with the band if we start at that time.
This has been such a hard decision. I know in some ways we are in denial that Ryan needs the STARband. I just looked at his head all weekend knowing that he definitely needs the helmet. I can honestly say I cried and I know there will be more tears in the future.
