February Felix

Many friends have been asking how Felix is getting on with his helmet. The answer is, "Just fine, thank you!" Here is first a pic of him during his helmet-free hour (during which time we clean the helmet and his head). During the other 23 hours a day, he looks more like the second picture. On Feb 20, he had his first helmet checkup. After 4 weeks, his head already is back to being deeper than it is wide, which is as it should be. The head is still slightly asymmetrical and has a lot of rounding-out to do at the back, but Doc was really positive about improvement and said he doesn't need to see us again for 8 weeks! We don't know how long treatment will last in full, but it will be several months at least before the back of Felix' head is actually round. We'll just have to wait and see!
