Trisha!! I hope this is the case with . The dr had told us that will need to wear it for 6-8 weeks...b/c he'll be 5 month/ almost 6 months probably when he gets his helmet...and he is moderate (i hope he's not going to be considered severe). We have our appt on Wednesday to find out for sure that he's getting the helmet (which i know he is)...his head is pretty flat in the back...

I'm just scared that they will say it's bad and he will need it for such a long time. Is your son's head flat in the back...or just on one side?

Thanks,

Trisha,

That's how 's head is...real flat in the whole back of his head..and flatter on his right side..behind his ear. But the dr had said that his forehead didn't start moving or his ears or anything..that was a month ago...so hopefully that hasn't changed.

You made me have more hope than i had..b/c his head is pretty flat and i'm so afraid the helmet won't work...although the dr had said he's at a really good age to be corrected....

I'm glad everything worked out for Braeden!!

Braeden actually has Brachycephaly & Plagio as a result of

Torticollis he has 2 bad spots for one the back of his head was real

flat and on the right side behind his ear which caused his forehead

to be bossed forward but there were also a couple of other spots but

we are looking really good and I do not in anyway regret getting the

helmut....I cried like a sobbing baby the first couple of days but

some moms said when I decorated it, it would help and it has...now

that we only have 2 weeks left I am kindof depressed I wont be able

to decorate it anymore but I get to look at the $3,000.00 head....a

head of gold...I'm sure will get great results...I see

results everyday when I take it off to clean it, it is just

amazing...Trisha
