Re: Adam received first helmet

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen:

Things sound to be going good so far. It is a good idea to keep his

helmet off him while he is sick with an ear infection Poor

fella. Also, if he has a high temperature you should keep his helmet

off him until his fever goes down, any temp over 100 degrees or so.

Keep us updated on Adam's progress
