Today we went to pick up Kaylee's DOC Band! All in all, I would have to say that it was a successful trip with tons of answers to prayer. Mostly, we were praying that the transition from no helmet to helmet 23 hours a day would go smoothly. Some babies tend to have a rough time adjusting to life inside the helmet and we were praying for this to NOT be the case with Kaylee. During our appointment, they brought in the band and put in on Kaylee. Then they left us for about 30 minutes to see how she would adjust to it and also to be able to see where they needed to make any adjustments. After about an hour of going back and forth with directions on caring for it, for Kaylee and some fitting adjustments, we were on our way home. Our sweet little pumpkin fell asleep with the band on in the car on the way home. When we got home, it was just back to life as normal. Right now, she is fast asleep and hasn't made a peep since I put her down. Praise God for this even tempered little angel!
So now, it's just taking care of Kaylee and her helmet with a bath every night and continuous monitoring of skin irritations or "red spots" on her head. If all goes well, we should be done right around the New Year. If all goes even better than that, we could possibly have it taken off sooner!

Trouper Kaylee! You go girl! Granny and Pops are so proud of you and your Mom and Dad!
We'll be praying for you every minute!
Kaylee, I think you just started a new fad...I bet all the girls in the "Hood" will be wanting a helmet just like yours from Santa!! Nana and Papa are also praying for you and your mommy and daddy. You are a BEAUTIFUL family. We love you:)
Awwww.... I knew if anyone could pull of making the helmet too cute, it would be this princess! So, I agree with Natalie, a tiara sounds right up her alley.
God bless you.
