Ty's Helmet


Some of you may know that we've been going to a specialist for Ty. His head is a bit flat in the back and one side of his forehead sticks out a little bit. It's not very visible if you don't know--he's a pretty cute baby. Anyway, we decided to go ahead with treatment which means he has to wear this helmet for three months, 23 hours a day. He is doing great so far. He doesn't seem to mind it. The first few days his head produced a lot of sweat but he is acclimated now. We give him a bath every night and wash his head and the helmet. It makes me sad sometimes--it's different when he cuddles with you or gives you a big hug but he is still so cute. We will be happy when the first of April is here and he doesn't have to wear it. Until then this is what he'll look like.

I think it's more of a stylish hat. In fact, I think he is setting a trend, I have seen other small children wearing these!
Looks like you guys had an awesome Christmas! Maybe instead of a movie we should get together and play Rock Band. Let me know.

Does Bryan have sleep apnea too? Yeah that is what Phil has so fun fun for those masks! He got a new one so Jordan was trying out the old one with him.
