6 weeks after start of chiropractic work

Here are the before and after pictures of Jordon. At 6.5 months we took him in for his first chiropractic visit. Now he's almost 8 months and his treatments are almost over. He still has a way to go, she said about 5 mm? Not too bad considering where he was to begin with. To help ease pressure off that flat side she wants me to put him on his belly on his left side. Hope that will work. i did that once before but it didn't seem to help too much. Cross your fingers! She's hoping by Thanksgiving it will be done, but i don't think so. I'm thinking he'll still be going there in December. Hopefully it will be all done in time for the new year and for the trip to Denver.

Here is the first picture:

If you can see his flat side, it's on the top of picture, where it doesn't exactly seem to have a good head curve. His occipital bone is way over on the left side because of his sleeping pressure on the right. He almost had to have a helmet. But we're sticking by Dr. Shelton's expertise to fix the problem. This picture was taken the first week of treatment.

This was taken a few days ago. As you can see, it is starting to round out a whole lot more. The occipital bone is pretty much in the center of his back of the head and everything on the top view is looking good. but when you look at his flat side at a different angle there is plenty of work left to do. She said anywhere from one week to after Thanksgiving. We might have to pay more if the treatments go past december since we switched insurance, but it's all worth it to not have to see him in a helmet.

Here's a picture of the back/side of his head:

Today she said it's getting a bit of a hook in the back, so that's why we're trying him on his belly to sleep. It's been a long process and a lot of work taking him in every day and during the day massaging his head alot. But it'll pay off soon. Keep him in your prayers that his soft spots won't start to close on him, cause that's when the chiropractic work stops working.

We hope all is well with everyone. We are getting excited to see everyone for Christmas! We're keeping our prayers with Jason and Ellen! You guys will do great!
