Marci- helmets in Oklahoma

[Guest guest]

Marci,

What kind of helmet did use? Is it still the only one they make in Oklahoma? Where did you go? Our PT thinks we should use the DOC Band if we are going to do the helmet. I believe she said they do the starband in Tulsa (I can't remember if that was the one for sure), but she thinks we will get better results with the DOC. The only bad thing is I will have to drive to Dallas about every week. We do have family about an hour from there. It will still be a 10 hour trip there and back. What are your opinions on the different kinds of helmets? Thanks so much.

and McKenna

I can't help but wonder if (who started when she was 9 months old) would have gotten more correction if she had used an active rather then passive device. Still, she did get some good correction and, at the time, the helmet was the only device available in our state and the ortho who made it was outstanding.The sweating was a bummer, but it really did get better after a couple of weeks. You'll be suprised the new and creative ways you find to snuggle with your baby and you will really value the one hour a day you get to have the helmet off.Best wishes to you and Rhiannon!Marci (Mom to )OklahomaFor more plagio info
