Darth Pink Update Part 2

Emerson had her appointment at the plagiocephaly clinic today and she gets a 1 WEEK BREAK from her helmet. Poor girl has a pressure sore (for you nurse friends of mine, you'll really appreciate that) on the left side of her head. The orthotist is going to adjust the helmet so the pressure sore doesn't come back and Emerson is going to use the week to heal. Rico and I first noticed the sore about 2 weeks ago and thought it was a mosquito bite that was having trouble healing because of the helmet. Well, now we know. On a positive note, the neurosurgeon was happy with Emerson's progress and the advance practice nurse said the changes were obvious. Both Rico and I thought we had seen improvement and it's nice to have our thoughts validated. So, the girl is now sleeping the sleep of the helmet less! But have no fear, Darth Pink shall return!

This girl deserves a huge medal. Wow what a tough chickie she is. I think she is just absolutely the most adorable Dark Pink girl in the world. I miss her so.

What a trooper. I think she needs a shopping spree for some fun cool hats once she is Darth Pink no more.
