Tomorrow will be the first day we can have Andrew wear his helmet while in his car seat. We had to wait a week to have it on while he was in the car seat, so tomorrow is it! Because of that, we have only had it on about 21 hours a day or so, just because of the driving time to and from work and whatnot. Also the time to take it off to clean it at night and air it out in the morning.
We are driving to YOGI Bear campground tomorrow to stay for the weekend, so it will be a long drive with the helmet on, but we will see how it goes. I'm excited to get away again for the weekend. We'll see how good we do with the helmet staying on. If it's too hot we have to take it off so he doesn't overheat. He also can't wear it if we go in the water. So I bet this weekend we won't have it on the full 23 hours we are supposed to. I know for sure while he's sleeping (overnight and naps) we will have it on- so that's about 14 hour all together in itself. I suppose we'll just have it off in the heat of the day, but we'll do the best we can!
The good news is that we are already able to see progress from the helmet. His cone has really gone down and the flatness has somewhat rounded out. We have an appointment on Monday afternoon to check the progress, I'm excited to see what the doc will say!
