Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Hi everybody! Anybody remember us, if so --Sorry it's been such a loooooong time since I've been on here, life is busy as usual and things were just going along I guess. I wanted to let you know though, that Kai is doing well in his STARband, he finally has been able to wear his second helmet for the recommended time starting just last week really( he got it April 3rd.)Our orthotist felt there wasn't any more he could do, that it was strictly a moisture problem. We would have to leave it off for several hours to let a red spot on his forehead and above his ear go away. He likes to lay with his face down when he sleeps and thought maybe that he was just laying on that side more or something. Anyway, he was wearing it for probably 18-20 hours. However, I finally quit obsessing over the length of time he was in it, because he is correcting so nicely. Our orthotist is very pleased with his progress. He is essentially (still can have a little improvement)symmetrical now, just lacks filling out some of his flat spot, but that is improving too. Everyone who sees his head is really impressed with the improvement. Want to say thanks to all who were so attentive and helpful/supportive when I was on all the time. I'll check back for any response. Talk later, ,mom of Kai, Columbia Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
