| This is the *official* picture that we're going to submit to the DOC Band Babies 2015 calendar! It's not my favorite, but that girl does NOT particularly like having her picture taken, especially when we want to pose her. This one will have to do! |

| All done!! Yay, Eleanor! |
Tuesday, May 20, 2014 was our *DOC Band Graduation* day! I am so pleased at the difference the helmet made in Eleanor's head shape. I will admit, her head is not 100% perfectly round - she still has a little bit of a flat spot on the back right, but Will and I agreed that our goal in this journey was never to make her head perfect, it was simply to make her head better - and we achieved that. As we got to see the before and after pictures, I was amazed at the difference it made in the symmetry of her face and facial features. Her eyes and cheeks look SO different. Her ears are still a little asymmetric, but that has more to do with the torticollis than the plagiocephaly, which we will continue to work out in physical therapy. All in all, I'm glad that we did the helmet. It wasn't my favorite thing (nor was it Eleanor's favorite thing), but we did our best to make the most of it, and seeing the results, I'm happy we persevered and got through the past 10+ weeks. It was well worth it!
