Appointment # 2

Hugo had another appointment with the cranial technologist today. It went really well and was really quite fast, thank goodness! We were just going in for him to get 3-D pictures taken of him. Then with those 3-D pictures they make a replica of his head and then from that change it slightly to make a doc-band (helmet) for his head. We are looking forward to getting it out of the way and being done with it. I am kind of excited to get the band and get it decorated or painted. Does anybody have any ideas?
Anyways, here are some pictures I took of him getting his pictures. The green/blue ones are of the actual 3-D picture, it was SO cool to see on the computer, they could move it all around- I am amazed and grateful for the technology we have available for us today!

2 more weeks and he gets it! I'll keep you posted!

He is sucha good boy to sit still for the nurse while she covers him in a sock net!
I am sure you will make the helmet look cool whatever you guys do. I bet Shawn has thought of some good ideas also.
I am glad you com proceed with Dr visits.

That is soooo cool. Technology just amazes me these days. I'm sure you'll think of some very cute ideas for decorating it.

Are you getting excited for your cruise?

I hope he is OK. He is good to sit with that thing over his head, Emma would have freaked out. He is still so adorable, He gets bigger everytime I look at your blog.
