pediatric opthamologist???

[Guest guest]

Hi all- Grace has been in her helmet now for almost a week and seems

to be adjusting well....I swear I notice a difference already on the

side that drifted due to the tort but maybe I am just fooling myself!

Anyway tomorrow we go to the ped. for her 4 month checkup and while I

know that he will make me feel like she is the elephant man I know

different. I was wondering about those who have kids with the

assymetry, how long did you wait before you went to see anybody about

the eye? I have an appt with a pediatric opthamologist next week but

I am wondering if I should have her wear the helmet for awhile and

see if the eye corrects out. I hate to have to take her to more

appts then is necessary right now and perhaps the neurologist (whom

the ped. is making me go and see) will have some more hints on what

to do as far as when to make the appt? It is the eye on the tort

side that the cheek is raised and I am not sure a ped. opthamologist

can help anyway with that? Also part two....I wasn't paying close

enough attention to those that had the problem with drying out of the

head from the helmet. She isn't exactly drying out but there is a

patch where the helmet has pressure that seems a little rubbed off

from the helmet so she has a little raspberry on her head. Any

suggestions on what to do with that?? Thanks and Gracie
