Post Surgery Head Decor

Just before Annabel had surgery, I met a lady on craniokids.org who was starting a charity for little girls with cranio. She is making headbands that can be used to cover their scars. The charity is called Avery's Angels. You can see more about it at

averysangels.net

I contacted her and Annabel received her headband just after her surgery. Here is a picture of her in it.



Annabel won't be able to wear the headband much more for the next couple of months. On Wednesday, Jared took his mom and brother to the airport in Houston. Then they went to pick up her new helmet. The helmet will be used to ensure that her head grows in the proper direction after surgery. It was a clear plastic. Last night we got paint and stickers to decorate it. I thought it turned out pretty cute. Here are a few pics of her in her helmet.

Annabel will be wearing this for about 23 hours a day for the next 2-3 months. Then she should be finished with her treatment.
