Six days after her surgery, Audrey got her first helmet. She will probably have 3 helmets in total as she will out grow them. We gradually let her get used to wearing it through four hour intervals. The first day she wore it one hour and had it off for 3 hours. Each day we added an hour wearing it. By Saturday she was wearing it for the required 23 hours a day. She gets an hour break each night for a bath and a little play time. Her head sweats pretty good in the helmet and it gets a little smelly. So while she gets a bath, her helmet gets a good washing.
As the helmet is clear plastic, a couple of my friends decided to decorate it up for her. Julie and Clarisse came over one night and painted it pink and added some stickers and rhinestones. Every little girl needs a little bling! They did a terrific job and I get lots of comments on how cute the helmet is. Thanks Julie and Clarisse!!!
