Drove down to Ross on Wye today to get Bens helmet fitted! Its very smart and I've attached some pictures of it. Ben tried it on to check the fit and then Rachel adjusted it slightly to improve his vision on the left side. Apart from that it fitted perfectly and Ben seemed quite happy sitting there wearing it. He had some photographs taken of his head shape so that they can be compared at the end of the treatment. Ben found this all very amusing sat there in the bumbo having his picture taken and was a little confused when he got lifted down to the ground in the bumbo so Rachel could get an aerial shot - think he thought he was flying! Then Mummy had a go at putting on and taking off the helmet and that was when the screaming began...whoops! So we start wearing it tomorrow, 1 hour on and 1 hour off all day apart from nap time and night time! Time will build up gradually over the next few days to allow him to adjust to it and then on Monday we go full time - 23 hours a day!
