Recently, at a DOC band check-up, we had the opportunity for a fun photo shoot. This shows you a little about Nora's head check-ups. Oh, and she didn't mind any of it!
 |
| Aaron is holding her head mold. It's what her head started as. They use it to compare visually with us at each appointment. We're hoping we get to keep it. =) Normally, she doesn't have the hose over her whole head...we were just playing with her & she didn't care! |
 |
| This is more like where the hose goes during the check-up. Its a little low and sloppy here---she looks a little thug-ish. |
 |
| To keep her attention, her therapist lets her play with the tape measure. |
 |
| The hose is quite stretchy! Look at that hair!! |
 |
| Here's happy Nora. Pretending to measure her head. |
 |
| While she waits for adjustments to be made to her DOC band (shaving out the foam for more room to grow) she gets to play with all their great toys! |
We're really going to miss going to see her therapist, Kathy, each week! She's so sweet and really likes Nora. Nora even convinces her to buy toys for her own kids. (Like this pop up purple toy she has above...Nora always loves it so Kathy decided her son needed one.) At our last check-up (last Wednesday) they scheduled her exit appointment. Next time we go (in a little less than 2 weeks) should be her last time and graduation day!! We're scared for her to go without her head protection, but it'll be so nice to not get head-butted with hard plastic anymore! We can't wait!
What a cutie!!! I'm glad to see everything is going well! Loved her outfit too..where did you get it? We would love to get together with you guys!!
