I hate set backs. When i get started on something, i just want to continue till i'm done.
Rhyan's helmet has been rubbing a place on her face. It's where the little side-burn part of her helmet is... just above and in front of the ear. Sunday it was pink, Monday it was RED. We left it off (per the therapists advice) on monday from 11am-bedtime. We had it adjusted monday, as well. But when we got her up on Tuesday and took it off (normally we wouldnt take it off, but needed to check the spot) it was BLOOD red! You can see in this pic (if you click on it) the red spot... this was sunday, before it got super red. POOR BABY! So the helmet adjustment guy, Richard, said to put diaper cream on it and leave it off until the area healed completely.
And then start over. AHH!! NO! I dont want it to hurt her little head, but i also wish it would just be ok for her so she could wear it the 23 hours and be that much closer to getting it off.
She hasnt been fussy about it or anything. She is such a good baby. So tough.
So please, pray with us that she will heal and that setbacks will be minimal.
Having said all of that, its been really nice to cuddle with her and not have that hard helmet between us :-). There are up-sides to everything!

:( Macy has some red spots too... she particularly scratches her forehead and behind her ears when we take it off for an hour. She gets adjusted today so we will see what they say! Don't her little cheeks look so fat in the helmet being pushed together? :)
Oh and I have to say Rhyan is getting more and more beautiful by the day! Don't smiles make little girls so sweet?! I am so jealous you get to snuggle with her sweet head... I miss that.
