Snook knows best

We consulted with our wonderful pediatrician, Dr. Judy Snook, tonight, and she gave us wonderful words of encouragement regarding Elijah's helmet. As most of you know, we've been having an internal struggle trying to decide if it is worth pursuing. We really trust Dr. Judy, so we called her out of desperation today. We asked her what she thought we should do, since she medically knows Eli so well. She said that if she had ever thought that he should get a helmet in the first place she would have said something to us (our physical therapist is the one who suggested it to us and the reason we sought out help). She also said that she has seen much worse cases and that Elijah's flat spot was very "mild," and not worth enduring major skin irritation and further emotional turmoil for. It was so good to hear her give us an actual opinion and not be vaguely supportive. We love our doctor and trust her completely and therefore have made a FINAL decision...

THE HELMET IS GONE!!!!

No offense Helmy, but good riddance! You have caused nothing but difficulty for us. We think you look very cute on our son, but we are happy to not put you on his head anymore. Rest in peace, you colorful little thing.
