The Lonely Blue Helmet

Today was the deciding appointment for Nolan. The appointment let us know whether Nolan needs to wear his helmet for a longer period of time.  Both Bill and I took off work a little early today, so we could go to St. Louis for Nolan's helmet appointment.  Nolan had two separate appointments today, one appointment with the prosthetic lab technician and the other one with the plastic surgeon.  Each appointment went great!! Both the lab technician and the plastic surgeon agreed Nolan no longer needs to wear his helmet.  He can stop cold turkey!!  Bill and I are more than pleased with the results Nolan obtained with his head shape while wearing his helmet for only 3 months.  Since Nolan is part of a study, he has to go back in 6 months to have the same measurements taken to see if his head shape has improved any on its own.


Nolan didn't know what to do without the helmet on.  He kept looking at it and trying to put it on his head.  It was too cute.  Nolan really enjoys chewing on the velcro strap too.  No more stinky, sweaty head for my little Pooter!! 

 Silly boy!!
