Connor's new helmet

Connor's doctor said that his head was not shaped right and that we would have to see a specialist to see if he needs to wear a helmet. Erik and I took Connor to see a specialist who told us that we were going to have to put a helmet on him. It was a very hard thing for us to do. The Specialist said that he is going to have to wear it for 3 to 4 months. This is what Connor looks like. The helmet makes his head all sweaty. He has to wear it 23 hours a day and he can only have it off for an hour while he gets a bath and so that we can clean it. At least we don't have to do it in the summer when it is really hot outside.

I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!! OHHHH SO SAD!!!!! I thought Lori said that Ashlyn needed a helmet, not Connor! poor buddy. Atleast he's so easy going and wont try to pull it off all the time. Love you guys.

Hey I was thinking, maybe if you cut his hair, or buz it (since you wouldnt be able to tel anyway), he would be more comfy and may not sweat as much. What do you think?

It wouldn't hurt to try that. If I can get myself to do it.
