It's hard to say what options your neuro will give you - each neuro

has differing opinions on helmets/bands, etc..

Here's a link to help you with questions to ask him at your appt

tomorrow:

Our neuro recommended helmet therapy for our daughter, her case was

severe though. Abby's neuro took photos of her head, took some

measurements and that was pretty much it (I didn't much like her

neuro).

I'll check out Luke's webpage! Good luck & let us know how it goes.

Kelli,

You did a really good job on Luke's webpage. You have great photos

capturing his brachy and tort. My son Danny was dx with mild/mod

brachycephaly. Our neuro felt that with time, it would round out on

its own. I wasn't comfortable with that answer and pushed until we

got an rx for the band. Its hard to say what your neuro will do, but

I just want to say that regardless of what they say, the decision on

whether or not to band is ultimately your choice! Good luck!!
