Final Measurements and Pictures - Bye Bye Helmet

Today we had Eli's final helmet appointment at UNC. We stopped his helmet last week because it just wasn't fitting well so we went in today for the final pictures and measurements. I don't think I've shared any pictures along the way of his head shape so you'll all be shocked and, hopefully, excited for Eli about the difference. As for measurements, when we started there was 5/8" difference in the cross sectional measurements. Now there's 3/16" - almost 1/2" improvement!! So it's not perfect but it looks pretty darn good and we're very very pleased with the results. The 7 months was totally worth it and we were very happy with the staff at UNC's Brace Shop. Hopefully none of you will ever need their services but just know how great they are if you do!
