24 hour helmet vacation

Well, we hit a small snag in the helmet process. Leah has a horrible rash on her forehead that we can't cure with OTC creams. We have been working on it for a few days, but it's right in the area of her forehead that is being held back by the helmet. Since the weather has warmed up and she's getting a little sweaty during the days, the sweat mixes with the rash and creates a whole lot of ugly! Our pediatrician gave us some prescription cream to try, and our orthotic tech said to try taking the helmet off for 24 hours to give the rash some time to breathe. We'll see if that works, and if Leah can sleep without the helmet for the first time in over three months!
