Stickers are in!


Walt got his stickers for his helmet today! We weren't thrilled with the way they went on, but they still look great!! A special thanks to DDP monograms and gifts in Thomasville for working with us on making Walt's helmet one of a kind. And thanks, Grandma, for picking them up for us today!! :)

Here are some pictures of the final product.

We chose a "4" because Walt is the fourth. And although not pictured, we are MOST excited about the bone stickers we had made!!! We will place one bone sticker at the end of each week to signify being one step closer to graduating from his helmet. Our little bulldog is going to be too cute!! 

Today was day four in the helmet. He was required to wear it for eight hours with a one hour break and then again until bedtime. Walt doesn't seem to mind it a bit, aside from putting it on and taking it off. As long as we are not messing with it, he does amazing. We have, however, noticed a couple of spots that are really rubbing on his forehead and leaving redness with a bit of a raw appearance. We contacted the orthotist and have an appointment tomorrow to check the spots on his skin and possibly do a bit more trimming if necessary. Walt will soon be in his helmet 23 hours a day, so for now, we will continue to get all of the head sugar we can possibly get! :)
