Divvy, You are fortunate that NeddyNed didn't end up needing to wear a helmet. It has been much much much tougher than we expected getting Gus to wear it for the necessary 23 hours a day. We are now on to our second helmet as he outgrew the first one made in March. (Tis an expensive exercise - they are $500 a pop!). Gus absolutely hates wearing the helmet and has worked out how to take it off. Once he's got it off he throws the nasty helmet as far away as his little arms will allow. I was driving along a busy city road the other day in heavy peak hour traffic and I heard the telltale "rrrriiiiiippp" of Gus undoing the velcro strap. Gus then prised the helmet off his head and hurled it into the front passenger side of the car. If it wasn't so dangerous, it would have been kind of funny. My DH and I are now used to hearing the helmet thump against a wall of his bedroom or the side of the cot whenever he's left alone in there. We had a chin strap put on yesterday so that should thwart the helmet removal activities for a while! Fortunately the helmet is actually working to correct his plagiocephaly - all-be-it slowly. How is Ned's head looking these days?
