Amelia’s Helmet has arrived!
21 June 2025
Amelia’s cranial helmet arrived on 5 June, and we’ve been adjusting to it.
On day one, she wore it for an hour on, and and an hour off — no naps or overnight yet.
Day two was two hours on, one off.
Day three, she managed four hours and had her first nap in it.
By day four, she was wearing it for 8 hours, including overnight.
And by day five, she reached the full 23 hours a day 💪
We take it off for bath time and to give the helmet a clean (it gets a bit sweaty — like a tiny cast). That’s our special hour filled with lots of cuddles and head kisses 🩷
The hardest part has been getting it on — it’s a snug fit, and we have to be careful not to squash her wee ears — but she’s so patient with it all! We’re incredibly proud of her.
She’s still seeing her osteo, who’s happy with how she’s going, and the lovely team at Orthotic House have already noticed early signs of progress.
Thank you to each of you for your love, support, and generosity — it means more than we can say. 🩷
