Noah said goodbye to his old helmet today, as we gave it to Cranial Technologies.  Cranial Tech scanned Noah’s head for his new helmet which should arrive on or before February 22nd.  Their scanner is quite a bit different than Hanger’s scanner.  The Cranial Tech scanner uses 25+ cameras around and above him to composite a 3D image of his head.  It looked like the holodeck from the starship Enterprise!

Instead of his cute “Amish” bonnet that he wore before, he wore a nylon sock over his head.  That didn’t go over really well, but he was a good sport about it.  After several tries with several toys, we finally got a good image.  So, now we wait.

Our new physical therapist, Amy, was very helpful in our decision to go forward with the second helmet.  She re-measured him for us and gave us a lot of good feedback for our decision.  In the end, we decided it was worth the time and effort (and money) for a second helmet.  Noah says he agrees.
