Owen's New Helmet!

This is Owen's helmet for the next few months. It will help change the shape of his head. He has Torticollis, which means a muscle in his neck is tight and he doesn't like to stretch it. He keeps his head turned the same direction when he's relaxed or sleeping because it's more comfortable for him. It has made the left side of his head kind of slope. The helmet is to help change that so that he will have a great shaped head!

It has definetly taken some getting used to for both Owen and us, but he does pretty well with it now. I feel so bad that he has to wear it for 23 hours a day during these HOT summer months, but we keep him cool and he doesn't mind. I know he won't remember it, but I hope the time will fly for his sake!
Owen looks so cute in it, but we get a lot of weird looks at the store! Sometimes it slides down, scunching his eyes to make him look like a mean baby, but we know he's still our sweet boy!!
