My son and helmet

[Guest guest]

Hello.

My son was diagnosed with mild to moderate plagiocephaly. We had him

get treatment at Childrens Hospital in Seattle where he was fitted

for a helmet at 8 1/2 months. He has worn the helmet 6 months and we

have seen some correction. The helmet itself it very flat in the

back and we saw inprovement with rounding on the sides but the back

has remained flat. He is now 15 months old and I wonder if there is

anything else we can do. Is it to late to get a band and how would

one go about this. The closest place to get a band, I was told was

in California. I just wonder if anyone has any suggestions. I feel

like I should have done more and that I probably have wasted valuable

time. Maybe I will just have to accept that his head will be flat in

the back. I feel a very helpless. Thank you for any input.

First let me say, you have already done everything you could to help

your son....don't feel like you haven't done enough! At 15 mos you

could still get a band & you'd have better luck with an aggressive

style at your son's " older " age. Have you checked into Angel Flight

for traveling IF the only place you could get an active band would be

CA? Angel Flight flies people for medical reasons at no charge to

many Cranial Technology locations. Let me find their information &

get back with you if you're interested.

Sorry that you haven't gotten the correction you would like .
