Re: Helmet and Chicken Pox?

[Guest guest]

Thanks . I called the ortho as soon as the dr confirmed he had chicken

pox. They told us not to wear the helmet if the pox were oozing or if he had a

fever. We took the helmet off for 2 days, now it's back on. Hopefully we're at

the end of the pox

The fun continues.

Thanks for your response.

We found out yesterday he has chicken pox. There are several bumps in his eye

brows and on his head. Fortunately one of the bad bumps is in the top opening of

the helmet so it's not touching. While there are smaller bumps in his hair, none

have blistered yet. We let him wear the helmet last night while sleeping. I hate

the thought of taking his helmet off and going backwards on his progress so far.

Of course whatever is necessary we will do.
