Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Katerina is going to have casting done next Monday. I am surprized how fast and smoothly everything was going last couple of weeks. First, I made an appointment (actually several of them with different doctors, just in case) with craniofacial surgeon in Philadelphia. He said that the only way to correct Katya's flat head is surgery, because of her age (she is 13 month old). That was very dissappointing to hear. I would never consider surgery even for a second. I asked him if he would be able to prescribe a band. He said that it was too late for a helmet (as far as I understood, he never even heard of DOC Band). At the end he agreed to write a prescription. All it was saying was Katya needed a " molding helmet- band " . As soon as we got back home, I called Cranial Technologies in New-Jersey, and they accepted that prescription and made an appointment right away. So in three days she will have the casting done, and in 2 weeks her band will be ready. I am very glad that we will be able to start the treatment so soon. I pray so it works. If it doesn't, at least I tried. Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts, and please forgive me my English (it is a second language for me). Leana & Katerina.
