I just thought I would post a quick update & let you know how everything went yesterday with Brayden & his helmet. From the picture above you can tell he now has his helmet. That part was actually really easy. When we went up there with him a couple weeks ago he was so tired that when they took the scan of his head he didn't move - so they got a GREAT scan. They put it on him, had to cut away a little for extra room around his neck, ears & forehead... came back in about 5 minutes later & "strapped it on". Corey (the helmet guy) went through everything with us, what we need to do with him & then took it off, checked for "red spots" made 1 small adjustment & we were done. This appointment usually takes about an hour & a half... therefore we had to wait for our 4:30 PT appointment.
They did not want us to have him wear it home, so by the time we got home he only wore it yesterday for like a total of an hour. I have talked to daycare a couple of times so far today & they said he is doing great! Today helmet ON 1-1/2 hrs, OFF 1/2 hr & NO helmet to bed.... tomorrow ON 2 hrs, OFF 1/2 hr & 1st night wearing it to bed... Thursday ON 2-3 hrs, OFF 1/2 hr & still on at night... Friday starts 23/7 of wearing it!
Corey (the helmet guy) comes to Mankato once a month to do helmet checks so we are very excited about that! That means only 1 trip a month to the cities! We are suppose to be going up there every two weeks (after a check up next week) to do a helmet check & PT... since we only have to go up there once a month now for helmet checks we are switching & doing his PT through a place in Mankato from now on. We are also seeing a chiropractor in Mankato as well (a friend told me it helped her nephew) so we were game for anything that might help him. I feel like that's all we do is dr for Brayden - oh well it will be done & over before we know it.
Thank you so much for all the extra thoughts everyone was sending our way!
