We went to the doctor and Ash got fitted for his helmet. They call it Cranial Remodeling. At any rate, last time we went they laid him in a scanner and made a 3D image of his head. They then informed me he had a very bad flat spot (duh) and he would need a helmet. So corny. Anyway, they sent away for the helmet to be made and we got it today. Ash has to wear it 23 hours a day for about 8 months or so. It gets one hour to dry out and be cleaned. We even get to decorate it. Basically the helmet is tight in certain spots and loose around the flat spot. The brain will grow in the direction of least resistance so it pushes out the flat spot. We'll probably start calling him silly names like "white helmet man" as a spoof from Space Balls.
