Day Two

Tristan seems to be doing ok in the helmet, he just can't wear it while napping or eating for the first few days.  So we'll get it on and he will start screaming to eat, so off it comes again, and then he falls asleep.  So this hour on and hour off thing isn't working out too well.  He's asleep right now but when he wakes up, the helmet is going on and staying on for a while.  We were only given 5 days to build up to wearing it for 23 hours straight.  He has his follow up on Monday to make sure it is fitting ok.  Then we also have to go in to PT again tomorrow to readjust the TOT collar to fit with the helmet.  Holy doctors appointments kid, good thing you are on medicaid!

Tristan reading a book, well, he smushes it into his face...

Tummy time is a good way to strengthen neck muscles

getting him to do it though is tough, so we use a mirror to entice him

the helmet is taking some getting used to

but it will happen eventually!
