Now this is a case of Helmet Hair! (2/3/11)

Ellie has a moderate case of Brachycephaly with Plagiocephaly.  Due to this, she is required to wear a helmet 23 hours per day to help round her head.  Depending on how fast Ellie grows, she'll be wearing the helmet approximately 10-12 weeks.

The first couple of hours have been alright, Ellie doesn't seem to mind the helmet at all.  Every few hours we do need to take the helmet off and make sure Ellie's head is handling the helmet alright.  She will go back to the clinic once per week to have the helmet fitted to her growing head.
