Helmet Countdown Wk 3

Helmet countdown-- 3 weeks down, 7 weeks to go.

Good news about the helmet:
1. The latest fitting seems to have helped.  The spot on the back of his head seems to be healing.  Matthew was out of the helmet for 10 hours on Monday, but has been back in it 23 hours/day since. 
2.  It doesn't stink like a teenage boys foot anymore.  It still smells bad, but it is not nearly as offensive. 
3.  Matthew has adjusted to it well.  Now when we take it off, he tries to figure out what is different (rolls his eyes up to look for it, turns his head back and forth to try to feel for it, etc). 
4.  The helmet was helpful when we were giving Matthew breathing treatments, as it helped trap the steam/medicine close to his face. 
5.  We really don't have any bad news about the helmet this week!
