What to do next?

Joey was about 9 months old when we decided to ask a neurologist about the shape of his head.  The neurologist said, very nonchalantly, "What I see, when I look at him, is a cute kid!  I don't see anything wrong with him."  That was so frustrating because we knew that this head shape wasn't normal.  We felt like we were crazy for pursuing this.  However, we asked the doctor about a cranial remolding helmet., This would essentially put pressure on the parts of the head we didn't want to grow so that the only places the head could grow was where the helmet made room for.  The NS said we could look into that if we wanted, but he suggested a CT scan first, to see if the sutures in the skull were still open.  If they were not, the helmet would do more harm than good.  So we made the appointment.
