Thanks for posting how Connor's first week has gone in his PPO

helmet! I am very interested in hearing how things go and your

impressions since I don't know much about this brand of helmet. It

sounds like he is doing really well, and that the initial fit didn't

pose any problems or red spots that didn't fade within the hour.

I'm glad to heare everything is going smoothly. Please keep us

posted when you can,

What a relief Connor is doing so well in his helmet! I'm sure

you'll be noticing rounding very soon!
