Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 Hi, Since I just replied to a message, I should probably introduce myself. My son Max (Maximilian) will receive his DOC band this Thursday from the Cranial Tech office in Burbank, CA. Max will be 9 months old this Sunday, 2/10. Max's story is the same as a lot on this group. We noticed his head flattening at 6 weeks & have discussed it with the pediatrician at every appointment since then. The ped said all the standard things like " it will round out on its own " & " put him on his tummy " . He neglected to notice that Max doesn't have full range of neck motion which caused him to favor the back right side of his head. We did a lot to keep him off his flat spot, but not as much as we could have because we believed that it would correct itself in time. It hasn't. The good news is that while the orthotist classified Max's case as moderate to severe, his facial asymmetry is relatively minor (4mm cranial vault & 4mm frontal-orbital). I've been reading the postings on this group for the last month now & they've really helped me feel more positive about the helmet. We're looking forward to finally seeing some improvement. Thanks for the support. Eileen Lars Rosenblad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
