A New Helmet


Yesterday we went to LA to get Mia's new helmet. Since both of the grandmas were busy Grampa Flash volunteered to tag along...thank you Grampa! He drove us down there...we stopped at In & Out along the way...we had burgers and Mia had beef and carrots with oil...I think that's pretty similar to what we had. Our appointment was at 1:30 in Torrance and they said allow for an hour to adjust the helmet. Well, 1 hour turned into 2, but we definitely didn't want to go back anytime soon and so far so good...I've been checking her helmet every couple of hours to make sure there aren't any red spots and it seems to be fitting well. It's a little bigger and bulkier than the last one, but they wanted to make sure it would last her until she's 2 or so...they said insurance would definitely not go for a 3rd helmet (we still don't know about this one, but we continue to pray and be hopeful). They did think her head grew a smidgeon since she was last there...so please be praying that it would continue to grow and this helmet would reshape her head.

This morning Mia got her Synagis shot...it is a shot they give babies during cold/flu season to protect against RSV...any premie and baby with a heart/lung condition gets the shot...it's a once a month thing for the next 5-6 months...so pray that she wouldn't have any adverse reactions, she ended up doing fine with her last immunization, but she had a fever for so long...pray she doesn't get a fever with this because we want her to be able to wear her helmet.
