Re: keeping helmet on when sick-Kim

[Guest guest]

Kim,

Trust your instincts on this one. My son has been sick all weekend

and his band has been on and off, depending on his fever and his

level of fussiness. It is a hard call to make, to keep the helmet

off, but.....sometimes you know it is the right thing to do.

Best of luck with Jaxson!

Kim,

If he has a fever, I'd keep it off. The band can cause them to

overheat - I know it can be frustrating that you're losing time, but

hopefully Jaxson will be feeling better soon!
