Re: HEATHER GOT HER NEW HELMET

[Guest guest]

OMG She's so adorable!!!!! It looks like she's swiming in the

helmet. And by the time she's done with it, it won't. LOL.

Good luck with the helmet!!! I'm sure she'll get used to it. And

keep her inside as much as possible when it's this hot and dress her

lightly. It worked with and he really didn't have any

troubles. Twice he had some prickly heat because we were outside

when it was really really hot like on 4th of July. But it cleared

up really quickly.

Howdy!

Hang in there :-) It take some kids a couple days to adjust. Did

your orthotist tell you to gradually work your way up to 23 hours?

That's what a lot of parents do. Let us know how she is doing

tomorrow. Keep an eye on that red spot.

Hi Deb,

Thanks. She is my cutie. I love her huge cheeks. I have my ac

running now to keep her cool. She seems to be a little better with

it, but it is still really tight on her cheek.

Hi,

First is so cute!!!

Second, how bad is this red mark? Does it go away in an hour? I'm

sure the heat is not helping at all. Have you decreased her

clothing : )

Can you post a pic of the red mark? If it doesn't go away in an

hour that concerns me. If it goes away in an hour then it's fine.

Are you going to be on chat tonight - in 30 min? We could discuss

then.

OMG is positively scrumptious!! Let me at those cheeks!!!

I'm sorry to hear (and see) the red marks. If they didn't go away

then I would be concerned too. Was she sleeping/resting on the left

side? Colin had those marks after laying on the side but they did go

away within an hour.

Does it seem slightly loose overall? Colin's was slightly loose for

a while which is normal. That pattern is so cute. I look forward to

hearing your updates.
