Day wear only 'til Friday

I was expecting this blog to be updated once maybe twice a month with some news on Finley's progress - it seems to have become a daily saga and I'm getting really exhausted by it. I know we have to carry on but it's becoming very draining...

Fin had his helmet on 4 hours on and 1 hour off today, there was so much cream on it I didnt know what was going on. After bath when it was all clean and visible it was still lumpy and red. I phoned Saeed, he said he had another mother with the same issues, she persevered with day wear and no night wear and one day the lump just slowly began to subside. He says there is not much more he can scoop out of the helmet. Fin seemed quite happy in it today - it didnt really bother him and he napped in it twice - I'm not so sure about going the whole night with this lump so with Saeed's agreement we will do day wear while he still doesnt seem to be concerned about it but not night wear and discuss what we should do at our progress review on Friday.

We had a better night last night - controlled crying seemed to work after a shaky start. He appears to have gone to sleep very easily tonight. Peter is definitely off to work tomorrow so it has to be alright tonight.

Another cranio osteopath visit tomorrow, maybe she can do something for this lump with her healing hands.....
