4th Check-up

Last Friday Finny had his fourth Check up in Sevenoaks. Chris had a days holiday, so he got to come to which was really nice as he hasnt made it up since we had our initial appointment.
We had a slightly earlier appointment than usual as Corrin was on leave and Steve lives up in Leeds so he likes to get away as early as he can to beat the traffic!!
So we drove up for 11.20am. It worked out really well actually. We left as Fin settle for his nap in the car and he woke up when he normally does and had a little play untill about 10  minutes before we arrived when he decided he had had enough and he got himself a bit worked up!
As we arrived a lady was waiting with her little girl who was due to have her treatment finished at that appointment and she came out with a big smile on her face with helmet in hand - the little girl looked beautiful and her head was delicious and round!
We then when into the consulting room and Steve greeted us - he is obviously a pro as he measure Fin in next to no time. Fin usually gives Corrin a hard time moving his head here there an everywhere, but he sat staring at steve wide eyed and open mouthed......perhaps he thought steve looked funny lol. Anyway he popped all the measurements into the computer. He said Fin was responding great to the helmet, his back measurement remained at 84% as it always has, but he had a reduction in his asymettry again this time another 2mm - which now brings his whole total to 9mm.
Steve advised us that next appointment will be Fins last and the treatment finished!! He said although it still fits him, he is out growing it. He feels it should last, but theres a chance we may have to finish it sooner if Fin starts showing signs its a bit too snug like tugging at it. I hope it last - but even if it doesnt his head is so different than when we started it doesnt matter. To be honest as well I dont know how much, if anymore reduction we can expect. The greatest reduction is always in the first few weeks and it kind of teeters of so maybe we will get another 1 mm if were lucky, 2 if were really lucky and if not - it doesnt matter anyway.
So 25 days and counting!!!
