Today Thomas wore his helmet for 2hrs on and then a break for an hour, back on for another 2 hours and so on during the day. He still doesn't have to wear it during sleep time yet. He's been brilliant, never a grumble about wearing it, and has been in great form all day. We had our first outing today too wearing it- Thomas was my delivery boy delivering veg boxes! Then we had to pick his big sister Hannah up from Pony Club camp. The girls seem totally accepting of him wearing it which is a relief.
On the down side though he is so sweaty still under the helmet, his hair was soaking each time I took it off. I'm just making sure he drinks loads and am trying to keep him as cool as possible. I also noticed a few red pressure marks on his face, although apparently that is normal. We just have to make sure that they don't turn into sores.
I am totally overwhelmed by people's generousity in sponsoring me-Thank you so much everyone! It's been amazing. Especially considering a week ago I hadn't raised anything and was really beginning to panic! Tomorrow is the big day for the walk - ahhhhhhh! I am quite worried about it now although I am sure it'll be fine. So till tomorrow!
