Neurosurgeon appt yesterday

[Guest guest]

Went well. When the nurse practioner asked what we were there for, I

said " to confirm a diagnosis of positional plagiocephaly, and to

receive a prescription for a corrective helmet and letter of medical

necessity for the insurance company. " She asks a whole bunch of

questions, then asked what I did for a living. She thought I was in

the medical field or something with all the jargon I was using

like " bossing forehead " etc LOL.

The neurosurgeon came in, a real petite, feisty looking lady. She

could tell immediately that Logan didn't have craniosynostosis. She

pointed out his asymmetrical ears and said that doesn't happen with

cranio. She diagnosed his plagio as mild. She then said " let's talk

about helmets. " She then went on to say that studies have found that

infant heads " round out " on their own. That helmets don't really

help etc. My heart just lept to my throat and I instantly felt

adrenaline coarsing through me. I was ready for a fight!!

Then she said that if what we wanted was a helmet, it was our

decision and she would prescribe it for us. THey already had a

generic LMN to use for insurance. I told her about cranial tech and

gave her the purple folder of info that Charlotte had given me. She

was glad to have it. She also wrote a script for PT for his

torticollis.

It was a great visit. She wants to see him after he's had the helmet

for two months. We feel so blessed that she was willing to help us.
