Phenomenal!

Now you might think as a grandma those are my words but they're not. They're the doctor's words about the change in Alyssa's head. I went with Julia to both the technician (who makes adjustment to the helmet) and the specialist. They said they don't see it often but the shape of Alyssa's head is almost normal after only a month. The change is significant and the technician measured her head 4 times to make sure he wasn't measuring wrong. We knew something was up when he said, "holy crap", and we knew it wasn't something bad. The specialist was a little more discreet and didn't use those words but said that she was amazed at the change. They are saying one more month with the helmet and Alyssa should be through with it. I've included not only the latest photos with her helmet but also the procedure a month ago in the doctor's office to make the helmet. As bad as it looks Julia said she was smiling and laughing through most of it until the end.
