Kyle's Appointment with the Neurosurgeon
Kyle saw one of the neurosurgeons at AI today. He said that Kyle's head is moderately servere. He wrote him the Rx for a helmet and we went to the place in the hospital that does the helmets. They took pictures and measurements and will work on getting it approved with our insurance. Once it is approved, we'll go back in and they will make a cast of Kyle's head and we will pick out the colors/design for the helmet. Once that is done, it should be about a week until we get it. Once Kyle has the helmet, we'll have to go back every couple weeks so they can monitor his head and adjust the helmet to allow his head to keep growing. The helmets they use have layers of foam on the inside, so they just remove some of the foam as Kyle's head grows instead of having to do a whole new helmet.
