This Tuesday Jameson had his very first official helmet appointment, and it went fantastically. Why this was something like his fourth appointment at Children’s OP, it was the first one after wearing his helmet for the first three weeks of his treatment. The appointment its self was only about 10 minutes long, but he is […]
My career in the United States Air Force will come to an end next year and Bea and I have been trying to figure out exactly what our next move will be. Ever since we have been together we have talked about starting our life out of the military in my home state of Florida. […]
So if your wife or baby’s mom is lucky enough to be able to breastfeed, then you will be able to relate to this post. Before Jameson was even born, Bea had a plan to store as much breast milk as possible, so by the time he was one or teething, we would have enough […]
Ever since Bea was pregnant we thought about teaching Jameson baby sign language to help us better understand what he wants sometimes. And in the process, we can learn a little sign language as well, cause you never know when you may need it. For those of you that are reading this, and thinking what […]
A few weeks ago we started feeding Jameson baby food. We started with making the food ourselves (well Bea made the food). The first dish we tried was potato, and before we get to the did he like it or not, Bea read that you should have the baby try something for at least five […]
The walls have finally been patched up, sanded, and patched up again. And I can finally see the light at the end of the biggest part of this project. Bea and I picked out a nice creamy white color for the walls, and the ceiling is just going to be painted a classic white. But […]
The helmet journey continues with the last few days of the break-in progress and chasing more red spots on his head. So after the first night of wearing the helmet, Jameson woke up with a red mark and welt on his forehead. Unfortunately, it was Sunday morning so we couldn’t call Children’s OP to have […]
The cranial helmet is wearing is going a lot better than it was on the first and second day. If you haven’t read the short updates on the first two days, you can see read those here and here. The first three days of having the helmet were break-in days, so Jameson would get used […]
So today, Jameson wore his helmet for six hours. Bea told me he didn’t hate it as much as he did the day prior, and he even took his nap in it. He did have some issues with the helmet rubbing on a few spots on his head. So when your child first gets the […]
Today was the day we picked up Jameson’s finished helmet. Which meant that today was the first day Jameson was supposed to wear it for two hours. And then it doubles every day after that, meaning that by our next appointment he would be wearing it for 23 hours a day. As much as we […]
