We are a week and a half into helmet therapy and are so pleased with how things are going! Cole transitioned very well into wearing his helmet 23 hours a day and we managed to get his helmet all spiffed up this week!
Even more exciting than that, we went to have his head measured on Wednesday. His little head grew 1/4 of an inch all in the RIGHT DIRECTION! 1/4 of an inch!!!!!! Isn't God good??? Thank you for all your prayers! Amy (our orthopedic tech) could not believe it and I just wanted to cry because I BELIEVED! :) I'm just so thankful!
Because you probably want to know:
- I am hopeful for Cole to have his helmet off by June 27 (mainly because we have a very special wedding that day and oh how I would rejoice to be done with this on that day) - but he will for sure have it off by his 1st birthday. They want to make the sure that the bones of his head are fusing before the helmet is completely removed, to keep the flatness from reoccurring.
- Because of our helmet we are getting to talk to some very interesting folks. Apparently some think we've dressed him up like a football player in 80 degree weather just for fun. Whatever!
- Sadie thinks Cole's helmet is "so tute (cute)" and wants her own helmet. The bicycle helmet will have to do for now! :)

Cole is very cute in his helmet! Your kids have the cutest smiles. I am glad to hear its working so well for you! God is great isnt he? We got some good news about Gabriella's heart this week too. :)
Isaiah (our almost six year old) wore a helmet for 2 months when he was 8 months old. It worked really well and fast :)We were amazed at how well he handled it and how well it worked. We got those kind of comments too, we just laughed and said that at least he couldnt bump his head :)
I'm sure Cole's helmet will be off very soon!
I'll continue to keep Cole, you and your family in prayers! As a mother with children with various medical issues, I know how stressful and concerning they can be sometimes!
God bless you!

So glad things are going well. The baby is super cute in his football gear.
So very happy to hear this good report. We will keep praying!
I'm so very sorry the poor child has to wear a couple stinky Red Sox on his head. Especially since he is completely helpless and unable to tear them off and burn them in a large enough fire. Go Rays!!
Seriously though, you have a beautiful family, it is good to see you and you family doing well. God Bless you guys.
