Caleb wanted to wear a helmet, too, just like his brother!
All ready to go!
Plagiocephaly is essentially a flattening of the head, usually due to external factors. In Ian's case, it has been caused by torticollis, which means that the muscles on one side of his neck are tight, causing him to favor looking towards one side more than the other. Because he laid on one side of his head so much, even with trying to reposition him and physical therapy, it has caused that part of his head to flatten, which has made his skull mildly misaligned. See more info in our first post "What is Plagiocephaly?" on January 21, 2009.
Caleb is such a fun big brother! Hope you all are doing ok.
