Progress

Just got back from our latest visit to the orthotist. Ryan's head asymmetry is down to 4.8 mm! Normal is 0-6. It looks like we'll continue one or two more months. We have seen the improvement for awhile and it's nice to see the scans and numbers to prove it. The numbers only tell one part of the story (two dimensions at one level) and looking at his overall head (all 3 dimensions) one can see areas for improvement. The ear asymmetry is also something we want to see corrected if possible.

Ryan is motoring all over the house. His favorite things to inspect are the large front window that looks out on the street, the doggie door and the cat door (previous house owners!) that is in the laundry room. He can pretty much stand up anywhere he can get assistance and has just started to take tentative steps when holding onto something. He has no interest in trying to walk when one of us holds his hands though.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope 2010 is a good one for all. I know we had been looking forward to closing the book on '09 and getting a fresh start.
