Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi and Greg. Congratulations on 's new helmet! I am glad to hear that he is adjusting to it so well. You'll adjust to it too soon. Believe me, you'll get so used to seeing him in it that he will look " odd " without it after a while :-). Please keep us posted on his progress. , mom to Makenna LLUMC helmet grad. > We picked up 's helmet today and my husband says he looks like a > football player from the 20's.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi , I am glad things went so well for . I would have to agree...the one thing we miss the most too is kissing 's little head. We just clean the helmet with a few cotton balls and alcohol. It seems to do a pretty good job.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi , Glad it went well, and great news about only 4 months! I know that's what we're hoping for. March 4 is 's scan, and March 12 is helmet day. My husband wants to paint it like a UW Huskies helmet. I wonder if we can do that? We can start our own little team! I keep wondering, too, how I will be able to stand not kissing Mikey's little head. I must kiss it a thousand times a day. :-( But I am sure we ARE doing the best thing for our babies. And it sounds like your husband is as supportive as mine. I'll send you a direct email, too, and I'll keep in touch while I'm in Arizona. Hang in there with the nursing, and don't forget the sock on the chin strap. I'm gonig to buy a whole package of socks and cut the toes off to have them handy, considering what a drooler Mikey is. Take care, Gail > We picked up 's helmet today and my husband says he looks like a > football player from the 20's.
