Helmet Update!

I need to warn you that the pictures in this post are kind of yucky! I don't know if everyone has problems like we have with the helmets, but this has not been an easy road. One of her problems areas is a slight bump on the back of her head. You combine that with the fact that she has her daddy's skin and you have problems! The helmet was putting too much pressure on the back of her head and caused an irritation and the irritation grew and grew until it caused infection. So we had to take the helmet off and leave it off until we could get the swelling to go down and the infection to come out. We have started to put it on a couple of hours at a time, but I am afraid we are going to be fighting things like this the whole time we are doing the helmet. We wouldn't say no to any and all prayers for this to go as quickly as possible!

This is how swollen her head got.

The yellow stuff running down the back of her head is the puss! I told you it was yucky!
