Guest guest Posted February 10, 2002 Report Share Posted February 10, 2002 , At least you have come to a decision and you can move forward. I will pray for Kayleigh too, but I'm sure that everything will be just fine for her! Being so close to 2 would be pretty tough - starting removing her helmet regularly at age 15 months!!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 : I'm glad to hear that all of you have come to a decision. That must be such a relief for you! I hope you will keep in touch with the group every now and then. We'd love to know how Kayleigh does in the future. *Cheers!* Kendra OUr decision We have decided not to get the helmet for Kayleigh. SHe is almost 20 months old now and even the neuro surgeon says keeping it on her will be very tough. Not only that - he says that if there is rounding with the helmet, he would not be able to tell us whether it truely was the helmet or just mother nature rounding it out. He wished that he had seen us a year ago - then we coulda had her banded and we wouldn't be at this point.So I am saying a prayer that mother nature does round it out a bit more so when she is swimming or wearing a hat it isn't so noticeable -her dry hair covers it nicely - but being that it is a moderate to severe case according to the neuro - it is very noticeable as soon as her hair gets wet.It was a tough decision, but I think the helmet would cause her more greif then help at this point - as she is almost 2!!!-For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 , It sounds as if you really put your head and heart in the decision making- I'm sure it feels good to just MAKE a decision, either way! Good luck to you and I hope Kayleigh continues to improve through time- just remember that we Moms and Dads notice this so much more because we become such "pros" at looking for it! All the best, ' Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
