Re: we got our helmet

[Guest guest]

Awe...we're right behind you. Noah was assessed and scanned this

week. He'll have his helmet in two weeks. Most of the time I'm ok

with everything...even kind of excited to decorate it...but at the

end of the day when I slow down a bit, I get a little anxious as I'm

laying in bed. I think about his soft, peach fuzzy head and how

sweet it smells after his tub. I also wonder about nursing and

holding him close to me. I think I am building up that 1/4 inch of

plastic as a barrier between us. It's silly when I think about it

logically. But, I totally know where you are coming from when you

talk about YOU having trouble adjusting to it. I think I'll probably

go through the same thing. I guess I'll just treasure that one hour

off each day. And probably be here on the message board for support

and encouragement. I know I'll be so happy when we're done. And,

I'm incredibly grateful that this is a treatable condition and caught

early.

Hang in there mama. You're not alone. We're all here with you and

for you.

Many blessings!
