Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 Alaina- I have to say that it made a huge difference in my attitude once they shaved some off and she can see now. I didn't mind her being in it after that because I knew that she was ok and could see better. She is just the same little girl in the helmet with the same great big smile and squealing laugh! I too am wondering about that whole washing hair everyday, granted she has no hair to wash but would I have to wash her head everyday? I just sponge it off on the days she doesn't get a bath because I don't want her to dry out! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2002 Report Share Posted January 7, 2002 : GREAT! I can sense a happy tone in your post, finally! I remember feeling SO much better when Abby's orthotist trimmed just a little off her forehead area too, the smallest trim sure does make a world of difference! I'm glad you got some answers. Now sit back, relax & watch Grace's head round out! Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Woo Hoo we went up today to see the orthotist and he shaved some off > of Graces helmet so she can see again!!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi , I'm glad to hear that everything is going well for you and Grace with her new helmet. It can be so stressful at first, but you'll probably have smooth sailing from here on out. good luck!
